HOW LOW CAN YOU GET?  Some psychiatric out-patients in the Democratic Party are actually threatening to remove the security around Supreme Court justices.  What comes next?  Stealing their children?  From Hot Air:   

Well, I should have seen this coming, but I didn’t. Even I underestimate the willingness of the Democrats to use the threat of violence to force compliance with their demands.

According to both Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, 15 Democrats from the Judiciary Committee have sent a letter to the Appropriations Committee asking that funding for the security that defends the lives of the Supreme Court justices and their families be denied until the Court buckles to the demands of the Democrats.

As you have undoubtedly noticed, a smear campaign has been directed at the justices, particularly Justice Thomas. It became so vicious that Thomas’ colleagues took the extraordinary step of chastising the Democrats for their ridiculous smears against the Justice.

The Democrats are making demands that the Court accept a Code of Ethics being pushed by the Left, and apparently, they have threatened to withhold funding for the security details that protect the justices unless Chief Justice Roberts caves to their demands.

During a Senate Judiciary hearing on Supreme Court ethics reform, Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., tore into their Democratic colleagues for “threatening to cut off the funding for the security at the Supreme Court,” as Cruz said.

“The Left is willing to threaten the lives of the justices,” said the Texas senator. “This is disgraceful.”

It’s an outrageous overreach, breaching the inviolable wall between the branches of government - dictating to the Court with what amounts to a death threat, given the level of vitriol and actual violence that has been directed at the conservative (and only the conservative) members of the Court.

COMMENT:  The people running the Democratic Party are part of the left-wing lunatic fringe that has gained far too much power in recent years.  They don't much like America, and they show it repeatedly.
