The responses are not being tempered by these last few days. Dobbs, the Supreme Court decision which rightfully struck down the made-up “right” to an abortion. On Sunday and Monday top Democrats gathered at various locations, screaming like madmen and calling for insurrection.
As RedState reported previously, Sen. Elizabeth Warren went on ABC News to assert that the court was now “illegitimate.” I’m old enough to remember when accusing any government institution of being illegitimate was a “threat to democracy,” but here we are.

Someone should bother asking Warren exactly what she plans to do about the Supreme Court’s loss of “legitimacy.” Remember, these are the kinds of vague statements that have been used for the last year and a half to suggest Donald Trump purposely caused January 6th. Do you think it is wrong to criticize the pillars that make up our governmental system? Why is Congress considered sacred by Warren but the Supreme Court isn’t? To be sure, there is no difference between suggesting Congress’ certification of an election is illegitimate and stating that the Supreme Court making decisions based on the plain text of the law is illegitimate.
Democrats don’t actually respect the institutions of power as they claim. Instead, Democrats seek to subvert them. What denotes a threat to “democracy” isn’t any objective standard of risk, but simply whether essentially anything stands in their way.
But if you thought Warren’s faux-intellectual rantings were bad, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot decided to up the ante. She appeared at a concert on Sunday evening to shout “F*** Clarence Thomas” to the cheers of thousands.

This should be considered normal. I mean, at least she didn’t tell people to go “peacefully protest,” otherwise she might be accused of trying to incite an insurrection. But the rules don’t apply to Democrats because they make the rules.
For a moment, try to imagine the outrage that would ensue if Ron DeSantis stood on a concert stage and shouted “F*** Sonia Sotomayor.” Yes, I know DeSantis would never do that because he’s not a mentally disturbed, terrible person, but in some alternate universe where he did, it would lead to weeks of outrage and accusations that he was trying to cause violence against the Supreme Court.
“Morning Joe” on MSNBC continued the insanity by stating that the Dobbs decision was “violence.”

Democrats are very clear about what they mean when they say things like this. One of the most common tropes on the left is to describe everything they disagree with as an act of “violence.” That’s purposeful. The right to self defense is protected. Democrats want to make the public less sensitive to violence, as evidenced by the outbursts that we saw in Phoenix and Los Angeles this weekend. The Supreme Court’s denial of a federal right for children to die is a form of violence.
As I’ve said before, none of this leads to a good place. It is dangerous to push division and it is based upon abject lies. Democrats are feeding an alligator they aren’t going to be able to control.
