The Left has been attacking the Supreme Court specifically because the High Court is no longer their liberal, unconstitutional weapon. Likewise, the Left has tried to regain control over the High Court by way of their typical hijinks such as packing it and they have grown disgruntled and verbally combative because that has not come to fruition for them.
This from redstate.com.
Recently, Senator John Kennedy performed an almost Herculean task to get Senate communists/globalists to condemn the multiple racist attacks on Justice Clarence Thomas coming from their own party. One specific noteworthy vile attack was attributed to Keith Ellison, Minnesota’s Attorney General.
Ellison—because Justice Thomas is intelligent, at all times Constitutional, conservative, and has not succumbed to the Left’s rule that blacks follow a progressive stance—called Thomas a “house slave” just days ago.
Kennedy posted the clip from this part of the hearing, in which he entered and ultimately saw unanimously passed an amendment condemning those racist attacks.
The nearly 8-minute clip is a must watch—please take a moment now to do so. You will not be disappointed–Senator John Kennedy is a national treasure.
You either condemn the racist attacks on Justice Clarence Thomas, or you don’t.
After a long discussion today, my Democrat colleagues on the Judiciary Committee finally agreed to condemn the disgusting racism that many have aimed at Justice Thomas. pic.twitter.com/tBptrybb0q

Sheldon Whitehouse, a [communist/globalist] senator who has been at the heart of attempts to undermine the entire judicial branch, asked his colleagues not to support the amendment. That prompted a response from Kennedy, who held his cool just long enough to request a moment for discussion before tearing into Sheldon’s statement.
Kennedy asked incredulously:
How can you not condemn a statement calling Justice Thomas a house slave?
Come on, folks, that’s all this amendment does! I mean, does anybody here support that kind of rhetoric? I don’t. I don’t think you do.
He added:
And this kind of rhetoric hasn’t been directed toward John Roberts. It hasn’t been directed toward Neil Gorsuch. It’s been directed toward Clarence Thomas. And it’s un-American. It’s unconscionable. And I can’t believe we wouldn’t condemn it.
Whitehouse again shined lawyerly, saying his disagreement was with the amendment also asking:
[T]he [Obiden Regime] to enforce the law when it comes to attempts to intimidate judges and justices.
Kennedy again retorted:
It’s a real simple amendment. If you support the racist things that have been said about Justice Clarence Thomas, vote against this amendment.
He then asked Sen. Ted Cruz to re-read the portion of the amendment that referenced what Keith Ellison had said.
Specifically, the part about calling Thomas a house slave from ‘Django Unchained.’
When the dust settled in the hearing room, every member of the judiciary committee voted for Kennedy’s amendment, condemning the racist attacks on Clarence Thomas and specifically condemning Keith Ellison’s offensive (and dumb!) attack on the Justice.
There is a reason Kennedy is the most popular elected official in Louisiana, winning a higher percentage of voters than any other official in the state in 2022, and maintaining such a hold over the voters that the threat of him running for governor is enough to make other people stay out of the race until he says for sure he isn’t. Kennedy will have that job in Washington D.C. until he decides to retire and not a moment before.
And, may God bless Senator Kennedy, what a delightful moment it was for the Left to cross the aisle and join with their Republican colleagues in condemning racism.
Final thoughts: Despite Barack Hussein Obama not yet having been incarcerated for his crimes against We the People and against our beloved country as well as the decades he set back race relations in this once-great nation, perhaps America has finally begun the process of healing.
