On Wednesday night, the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to strike down Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Covid-19 regulations limiting the number of people allowed in houses of worship.
Former Obama deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said the Supreme Court ruling is dangerous — oh, and SCOTUS is “illegitimate”:
The new illegitimate 5-4 SCOTUS majority overturning a policy to put more lives in danger. https://t.co/i8zzrqB6Vr

Really? First pallet of self-awareness incoming:
says the guy who orchestrated giving $1 B in cash to the guys actually putting lives in danger. https://t.co/o6dRYfPUq9

Exactly!
Also, something didn’t take long:
The concern for attacking the legitimacy of our institutions did not last long, did it? https://t.co/LSTbykStsw https://t.co/P1uZvKYhWf

Yeah, it's Trump who's been trying to delegitimize our institutions. https://t.co/pSe1apJIFc

Apparently “attacking our institutions” isn’t an attack on those institutions if somebody on the Left does it.
Says the man who was wrong on every national security issue and paid terrorists with cash to prove it…

Rhodes, like all former Obama staffers, worships at the alter of state. Any SCOTUS ruling in favor of religious liberty is seen as “illegitimate” to these cretins. https://t.co/5kgIM2n83C

REMINDER: Everything that results in a win for the Right is “illegitimate” and everything that results in a win for the Left is 100% legitimate and any question about said legitimacy is a threat to democracy and America itself. https://t.co/JgMJSLmlzS

One reason the left is so upset over the ruling is that houses of worship are what stand between the secular religion of the state and the populace. Ben is OK if restaurants and bars stay open. That should tell you something. https://t.co/n6Pu4BPvrC

There is no “put more lives in danger” exception to the Constitution that allows viewpoint discrimination. If Rhodes or Cuomo cared, they’d have pushed consistent policies that also ban protests. https://t.co/uU1u4df8Yq

“Everything I don’t agree with is illegitimate!” A child’s guide to politics

The only thing illegitimate about this is that it should have been 9-0.

And yet they didn’t. Go figure!
