But, you know, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2018\/06\/27\/justice-kennedy-retires-left-loses-it\/\">a sand flea could have predicted what the Democrats and media were gonna do<\/a> in reaction to the retirement announcement of Justice Kennedy. Of course Trump&#8230; (laughing) Trump has thrown gasoline on all this by saying, &#8220;I\u2019m honored that Kennedy said he felt comfortable enough to retire with me as president.&#8221; That has just sent them into orbit! I want to start&#8230; You probably think I\u2019m gonna start with my prediction from yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019m not, \u2019cause it\u2019s coming very soon. I want to talk about something a little bit more overarching than that. What happened yesterday that has caused a meltdown all over the left? Jeffrey Toobin was on CNN (crying), &#8220;No! Oh, no! (sobs) Roe v. Wade is doomed. (wailing) Oh, my God, babies are gonna live! Oh, no!&#8221; What can cause this? Well, that\u2019s what happens. If a baby\u2019s not aborted, it lives. I\u2019m sorry if this is offensive. Take it up with God, not me. I\u2019ve got nothing to do with it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-275857 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-051018-Doctor-Of-Democracy-ADJUSTED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-051018-Doctor-Of-Democracy-ADJUSTED.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-051018-Doctor-Of-Democracy-ADJUSTED-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But if a baby\u2019s not aborted, it lives, and here\u2019s Jeffrey Toobin (wailing) &#8220;Nooooo! Roe v. Wade is doomed!&#8221; An 82-year-old judge, one man&#8230; We have a population of 300-some-odd million, and one 82-year-old (could have been 32; doesn\u2019t matter; I\u2019m just giving you the factual content here) has announced that he is retiring and heading off to that great cloakroom, wherever he goes after he retires. And look! Look at the absolute meltdown that has taken place over a single individual saying he\u2019s leaving.<\/p>\n<p>Now, what can possibly justify this kind of meltdown? We have three branches of government. We have the legislative, we have the executive, and we have the judiciary. You\u2019d be amazed at how many people think that the branches of government (laughing) are president and vice president and speaker of the House. You&#8230; (laughing) It\u2019s a shame. But we have the legislative, we have the executive, and we have the judiciary, and they are coequal, and they always&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been set up as founded that they battle for power &#8212; and the battle for power is supposed to slow things down. Change is supposed to occur at a snail\u2019s pace in this country, as designed by our brilliant founders, for the express purpose of taking emotional reactions out of everything. But yet that\u2019s all we\u2019re dealing with now. The left has entirely gone every day&#8230; How much emotion is left in their reservoir? Do you realize every day is a panic and a crisis to everybody on the left? Every day!<\/p>\n<p>So now an 82-year-old guy, Justice Anthony Kennedy has said&#8230; Did you see this? A Comedy Central writer who said he wished Judge Kennedy had been shot instead of President Kennedy and instead of Robert Kennedy. Comedy Central. This is a comedy network! This is where you tune in to laugh and you tune in and some locoweed says (summarized), &#8220;Yeah, I wish Anthony Kennedy had been the one shot instead of John Kennedy.&#8221; You want to throw out all the great rulings you got from Anthony Kennedy?<\/p>\n<p>How these people can marshal even 30% of support from people in this country is beyond me now. It\u2019s not that if it doesn\u2019t appear&#8230; A lot of people watch Comedy Central. People tuning in to watch. How in the world do you not blanch at just the stupidity of it, much less the coarseness. They call Trump uncivil, and they say Trump is dangerous to our discourse and so forth. So back to the three branches: The executive, legislative, and judicial.<\/p>\n<p>If I were a member of Congress today, a member of the House or Senate, and one judge announces he\u2019s quitting and everybody acts like it\u2019s the end of whatever they believe in, I\u2019d be asking myself, &#8220;Well, what am I, chopped liver here? Is the Congress chopped liver? Is everything deferred to the Supreme Court?&#8221; And, yes, it is! And the reason for that is the left. I mean, you can go back to Marbury v. Madison where the Supreme Court said, &#8220;You know what? We are going to decide what\u2019s constitutional or not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Or you could go back to Earl Warren and his court 60 years ago where they affirmed, they were gonna sit in judgment, that they were gonna be the final authority. This was never what the Supreme Court was intended to be, the final authority. But the left insisted on it because the judiciary is their backup for losing elections. Why should a Supreme Court justice&#8230;? How has it happened that a Supreme Court justice &#8212; one &#8212; is so powerful, when all they are supposed to do is to decide the law, whether a law is constitutional, whether the cases that come before them&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You know, they decide cases, and not every one of them is a constitutional case. But we have invested in the Supreme Court as the final authority. But! But! The left did that. When the Supreme Court trends to not giving them the final result they want, you think they\u2019re just gonna sit there and accept it? They don\u2019t accept anywhere else in our society where they lose. You think they\u2019re just gonna sit there and accept if they lose it the Supreme Court? That\u2019s not who they are. They will continue to agitate and try for more and more upheaval.<\/p>\n<p>But what it really means is that the executive order branch and legislative branch have kind of ceded power. They\u2019ve let it happen. They\u2019ve let it happen that nine people in robes have the final authority on all of this, when they not supposed to do that, because they\u2019re not elected. They\u2019re not representatives of the people. They are appointed by the president, confirmed by the people in the Senate and so forth, but they are not elected, and therefore they have no direct link to the people.<\/p>\n<p>Our country is a representative republic, and the people that we elect to the House and the Senate are there to represent us. I know judges are supposed to be totally free of bias and all that. Of course, that\u2019s a myth as well. I just find it fascinating to watch the reaction when one judge decides to retire and what it says about what has happened to our country and where it\u2019s going.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-229779\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/650-041417-Eddie-Munster-Judge-Napolitano.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/650-041417-Eddie-Munster-Judge-Napolitano.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/650-041417-Eddie-Munster-Judge-Napolitano-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>RUSH: Judge Napolitano &#8212; the Human Eddie Munster, Judge Naps &#8212; of Fox News, says that the late Justice Antonin Scalia told him that Kennedy told Scalia that he wasn\u2019t gonna retire until there was a Republican president. Okay. We have a Republican president. Kennedy is retiring. He must be okay with Trump. That\u2019s got \u2019em spinning in tops as well. It is&#8230; I have to tell you, it\u2019s fun to watch this, frankly.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, I\u2019ve gotten a little bit beyond where this stuff irritated me. I mean, it does, but I now see the humor in a lot of this. Because we\u2019re dealing with, I mean, closed-minded, sheer stupidity. Yeah, Comedy Central writer: &#8220;I wish Justice Kennedy &#8216;had been shot\u2019 instead of JFK or Robert.&#8221; What\u2019s this clown\u2019s name? Curtis Cook, &#8220;a Los Angeles based writer for Comedy Central.&#8221; Do you think they\u2019re rethinking hiring him? Is this funny? Oh, and Trevor Noah, who also works there. He had something crazy to say.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In some ways, it feels like all hope is dead.&#8221; So you\u2019re tuning in to the Comedy Central network to watch what you think is Jon Stewart &#8212; and he got out of there long ago. He could see what\u2019s coming. His replacement where you go to laugh has just told you that all hope is dead. Why? Because a judge retired! So the investment they have made in the Supreme Court becoming the final arbiter was always destined to come back and bite \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-277974\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-28-at-12.59.22-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-28-at-12.59.22-PM.png 727w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-28-at-12.59.22-PM-300x77.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s gonna come back and bite everybody on both sides, depending on rulings. And Dan Rather! Dan Rather also tweeted out&#8230; (laughing) Now, Dan Rather, of course, is a newsman. He was the anchor for CBS Evening News after Walter &#8220;Klondike&#8221; retired, and Dan Rather eventually had to retire himself because he got caught making up the news about George W. Bush and the National Guard. He actually used forged documents. His excuse was, &#8220;Well, maybe the documents are forged, but the story is accurate.&#8221; (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>Right.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My source material may be fake, but the story is real.&#8221; Anyway, they get rid of Rather at CBS. They\u2019ve got no choice. Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw immediately recognizing the potential danger here to all of journalism, create a new award, a lifetime award for great news presentation or some such thing, and they have a big dinner, and they give Rather the award to save liberalism and to save the news business. So Rather tweeted yesterday afternoon, &#8220;Justice Kennedy retiring&#8230; If you are deeply disturbed, absorb the shock. But respond with even more determination.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-277973\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-28-at-12.57.45-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-28-at-12.57.45-PM.png 509w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-28-at-12.57.45-PM-300x121.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you see this as a fight for the future of democracy, let those in power know that the will of the majority can still hold sway.&#8221; Earth to Dan: This is the majority holding sway! Trump won the election, the Republicans won the House, the Republicans won the Senate. They get to choose because they are the majority. Just like&#8230; People have forgotten. Obama nominated Elena Kagan, perhaps one of the least qualified people to sit on any court, much less the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>He nominated her during the year of a midterm election, and nobody said he shouldn\u2019t have been able to do it. Nobody said he should have to wait \u2019til after the election. When Obama nominated somebody for the court, most people said, &#8220;Okay. Okay. First African-American president. Whatever you want, you can have it. We\u2019re not racist.&#8221; That\u2019s how much of the Obama years happened. There was no opposition to it. Now, I have a question for Dan Rather. &#8220;If you\u2019re deeply disturbed, absorb the shock.&#8221; Can you tell them how to do it, Dan?<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Cause it doesn\u2019t look like they know. Morgan Freeman is not absorbing the shock. The Comedy Central guy who wishes that Anthony Kennedy had been shot instead of President Kennedy? I think they\u2019re having trouble absorbing the shock. You\u2019ve been through this, Dan. How do they do it? Second thing is, &#8220;respond with even more determination.&#8221; What\u2019s that? Will you explain this? &#8220;Respond with more determination.&#8221; To do what? What does that look like, Dan? What does responding &#8220;with more determination&#8221; look like?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m just asking, what would it be? What are these people not doing that Dan thinks they need to do? Well, they\u2019re not absorbing the shock, and I don\u2019t know how they could be more determined. Competent and qualified to figure all this out and to oppose it\u2019s another thing, but I think they are determined. So there\u2019s that. And my prediction yesterday has already come true. It came true &#8212; much as I thought it would &#8212; before the end of the day yesterday, and it has come true over and over and over again throughout the Drive-By Media.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-277861 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-062718-Justice-Kennedy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-062718-Justice-Kennedy.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-062718-Justice-Kennedy-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, here\u2019s what\u2019s going on, ladies and gentlemen. The courts have been invested&#8230; The Supreme Court particularly, but not just them, the appellate courts obviously. But the entire judiciary. It is not insignificant &#8212; it\u2019s not a throwaway line &#8212; to say that the left, the Democrats have sought to use the judiciary as insurance, if you will, for losing elections. We\u2019ve documented the evidence of this over the many years of service of the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.<\/p>\n<p>But the retirement of Anthony Kennedy and the opportunity here now to replace him with a Trump-appointed judge&#8230; I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s happening. I think, as I mentioned yesterday, the Supreme Court decisions this week are clawing back freedom &#8212; individual liberty and freedom &#8212; for the people and reasserting the primacy of the Constitution. What really worries the left here is that what Trump is doing is not only&#8230; He\u2019s changing everything up in terms of the way the established order has run from our relationship with allies like NATO and the foreign trade deals like NAFTA.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s turning that upside down.<\/p>\n<p>He is now, I think, attempting here with the court and his judicial nominations&#8230; I think that there is, for lack all of better term, a claw-back now that the Trump administration and Trump personally are trying to reverse this decades and decades of leftist judges, such as those that stopped his travel ban and so forth. It\u2019s a long process. This is not something Trump is gonna be able to complete himself.<\/p>\n<p>But I think one of the reasons for the panic on the part of the left is that once the Supreme Court no longer becomes their backstop &#8212; once the Supreme Court is not the final authority for their victories &#8212; they are gonna be in abject panic. Where do they go? It\u2019s kind of like the United States, if it were ever to lose freedom, where in the world do you move to for freedom? We\u2019re the last great hope for all this stuff. The Supreme Court the last great hope for the left. And if that is removed from their control, &#8220;Uh-oh. We\u2019re not safe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Bernadette in Akron. I\u2019m glad you waited. You\u2019re next, and it\u2019s great to have you with us today. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m fine, Rush. It\u2019s a real pleasure to talk to you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You alluded to it in the first hour, about the job of the Supreme Court. For as long as I remember, it\u2019s been taught that Marbury v. Madison established the way they were gonna do things. What were they doing before then?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, Marbury v. Madison judicial review, meaning the Supreme Court will sit in judgment of whether or not acts of Congress and legislation of Congress is constitutional&#8230; Look, it was a power grab, and this is what historically the three branches have always engaged in: The quest for power. What\u2019s been fascinating to me is when Obama was president, the Democrats in the House and Senate willingly gave it up.<\/p>\n<p>They willingly surrendered power to Obama because they like authoritarianism. They like power invested in a singular individual. It\u2019s why they so loved Fidel Castro. It\u2019s why they loved Hugo Chavez or Mao. &#8220;One guy, all that power!&#8221; The cases that the court handled beforehand were like railroad versus land deal, cases that appear before courts every day. The court decides which cases they take &#8212; and they, course, reject the vast majority that they are requested to hear.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-263393 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/RushCOnstitutionNew.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/RushCOnstitutionNew.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/RushCOnstitutionNew-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But prior to that, it was legal disputes that ran the gamut. The idea that the Supreme Court would become the final authority on the constitutionality of work by the U.S. Congress is what Marbury v. Madison established, and it was&#8230; Who can tell the court they can\u2019t do it? See, that would take another court with a new chief justice and a whole bunch of other cases to wipe that out. But they\u2019re not gonna give up that kind of power, and it\u2019s just amazing how everybody\u2019s acquiesced to it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Just falling in line.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Falling in line. Well, look, we can\u2019t ask God, so the Supreme Court\u2019s the closest we can get? &#8220;Is that correct? Is that legal? Is that fair? Is that right? Is that constitutional?&#8221; The left was happy to do this as long as they had the power to populate it. Now that is being threatened, and it\u2019s got them very, very nervous. But they were more than happy for this singular authoritarian repository &#8212; and it\u2019s kind of like human nature.<\/p>\n<p>Deciding controversial things is controversial. Remember the base closings from back in the eighties? We decided need to downsize some of the military, and one of the ways to do it was downsizing military bases in the continental United States. Rather than Congress do it, they hired a bunch of ex-congressmen who missed the power and missed the perks, and they said, &#8220;Come on back, guys! We\u2019re gonna make a blue ribbon panel on here, we\u2019re gonna put you on it, and you\u2019re gonna decide which base are his closed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So when you decide that a base is closed, say, up in Sacramento the guy in that district can say, &#8216;I didn\u2019t do it! The blue ribbon panel did it.'&#8221; So the history of Congress (and individuals, too) being willing to pass off controversial decisions to others in order to escape any blame or accountability is as old as humanity itself is. So when Marbury v. Madison came along, it was controversial at first (and remains controversial to some people), but it was accepted.<\/p>\n<p>It takes a lot of people off the hook, and it puts a bunch of people who never have to face voters on the hook so they\u2019re not really on it. I mean, judges don\u2019t have to be elected. They don\u2019t have to campaign. So they can do whatever they want. You can\u2019t do anything about it. But the willingness with which members of Congress have given up power over the years has always amazed me, \u2019cause I remember when Reagan was president, Tip O\u2019Neill ran the Democrats in the House of Representatives, it was a daily battle for power.<\/p>\n<p>The Republicans today in both the House and the Senate, marginally, are not doing much to back up Trump, and in the first six to nine months they did nothing to backup Trump because they believed the Russian collusion story and thought that he was soon gonna be history. And when they figured out that, &#8220;Hey, maybe he didn\u2019t do it; maybe Mueller doesn\u2019t have anything,&#8221; then they got supportive and we got tax reform and so forth. But it\u2019s still basically Trump against Congress. This Congress is not so much trying to reap and reclaim power as they are not lending their power in unison to a president in their own party.<\/p>\n<p>But Trump is finding a way to overcome even that, too, which is continuing to frustrate those who are trying to find new ways to stop him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I just find it fascinating to watch the reaction when one judge decides to retire and what it says about what has happened to our country and where it&#039;s going.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":275857,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
