The legitimacy of our institutions

[pjohns]

Jonathan Turley, on Fox News, today made the observation that the left in America no longer believes in the legitimacy of our fundamental institutions (including, no doubt, the Supreme Court).

This appears to be true.

But its drive to pack the Supreme Court--perhaps to 15 members?--could give some veneer of legitimacy to its decisions, while ensuring that liberal points of view carry the day.

At least, until a conservative president, in the future, decides to pack it some more...

Thoughts?

Correct. They want to destroy American and remake it as a technocratic autocracy hidden beneath a veneer of democracy. The institutions have to be broken to achieve this.
