McConnell says Dems' court-packing threats are 'hostage-taking' effort to coerce favorable rulings
Fox News
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday argued that some Democrats' efforts to pack the Supreme Court is a "hostage-taking" move aimed to ensure there is a "sword dangling" over the justices as they weigh how they will rule in future cases.
"It's not just about whether this insane bill becomes law," McConnell said. "Part of the point here are the threats themselves. The left wants a sword dangling over the justices when they weigh the facts in every case." McConnell added: "As the Democrat leader threatened just two years ago, Democrats want the justices to know that they will, quote, 'pay the price,' end quote, for rulings that Democrats don't like."More Related News
