The Democrats have been off and running with the part of a recent New York Times story that caused them to be smelling blood in the water again in their quest to get Brett Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court. The part of the Times story where the editor’s note/clarification appears is being completely ignored because it shoots down their new narrative. Howard Dean appears to be among those pushing only the first part of the story, and the former Vermont governor and presidential candidate says there are multiple SCOTUS justices who are “illegitimate” and could be “rotated” vollyball-style, or something:
Actually the Supreme Court is NOT for life. The Constitution says the federal bench is for life. Which means Supreme Court Justices can be rotated off onto district courts. Since two of them were put on illegitimately, that is important to know. https://t.co/t7nyKIm2va

And what constitutes “illegitimate”? When Democrats like Howard Dean say so, apparently.
This year’s installation of The Constitution According to Howard Dean is even better than last year’s (Hate Speech Edition). https://t.co/DnNjH62JCf

He can be entertaining — we’ll give him that much.
NARRATOR: None of them were "put on" the Supreme Court illegitimately. https://t.co/vh1qXe5YQE

Ah yes, further attempts from the left to de-legitimize the Supreme Court of the United States in advance of rulings they certainly won't like and won't want to actually follow.
Nice try but NOT going to work.

Sometimes they don’t really think things through.
