Trump's victory puts an end to Democrat attacks on one branch of government

Yes, but it won't put an end to the despicable lying and gaslighting Democrats engage in.

Trump's victory puts an end to Democrat attacks on one branch of government​

In 1937, it was said that a critical shift of one justice in a critical case ended the move to pack the Supreme Court by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It was said that it was "a shift in time saves nine." In 2024, a shift in the Senate may have had the same impact. President-elect Trump's victory this week means that absent a renewal of the court-packing scheme and other extreme measures of the left, the court will remain unchanged institutionally for at least a decade.

The expectation is that Justice Clarence Thomas could use this perfect time to retire and ensure that his seat will be filled with a fellow conservative jurist. Justice Samuel Alito may also consider this a good time for a safe harbor departure. They have a couple of years before they reach the redline for nominations before the next election.

The election means that court-packing schemes are now effectively scuttled despite the support of Democratic senators like Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I. Given Vice President Kamala Harris's reported support, the Supreme Court dodged one of the greatest threats to its integrity in its history.

The impact on the law will also be pronounced. Returning the issue of abortion to the states will remain unchanged. A younger generation will grow up in a country where the voters of each state are allowed to determine what limits to place on abortions.

Likewise, gun rights and religious rights will continue to be robustly protected. The checks on the administrative state are also likely to be strengthened. Pushes for wealth taxes and other measures will likely receive an even more skeptical court.

The possible appointment of two new justices would likely give Trump a total of five to six nominees on the court. Liberals previously insisted that it was time for Justice Sonia Sotomayor to leave the court, a campaign that I opposed. The appointment of seven of the nine justices by a single president would be unprecedented. (I expect, as with the calls to "end the filibuster" as undemocratic, the liberal campaign to push Sotomayor to retire ended around 2:30 a.m. on election night.)

Trump has shown commendable judgment in his prior nominations. All three—Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett—are extraordinary jurists who have already created considerable legacies. I testified at Gorsuch's Senate confirmation hearing and still consider him one of the most consequential and brilliant additions to the court in decades.

JONATHAN TURLEY: Trump's victory puts an end to Democrat attacks on one branch of government

Trump's election may prove the key moment in ending one of the most threatening periods of the Supreme Court's existence. With the Senate loss by Democrats things will subside.

I recently debated a Harvard professor at Harvard Law School ......

....who was a poster child for why we are graduating uneducated dullards who have been indoctrinated....

........on the lack of free speech and intellectual diversity at the school. I noted that Harvard had more than 75 percent of the faculty self-identified as "liberal" or "very liberal." Only 5 percent identified as "conservative," and only 0.4% as "very conservative." It is not that Harvard does not resemble America, it does not even resemble Massachusetts in its virtual purging of conservative or Republican professors.

We just had a country where the majority of voters chose Donald Trump. Among law school faculty who donated more than $200 to a political party, 91 percent of the Harvard faculty gave to Democrats.

Yet, the professor rejected the idea that Harvard faculty or its students should look like America (only 7 percent of incoming students identified as conservative). So, while the Supreme Court has a strong majority of conservatives and roughly half of the federal judges are conservative, Harvard law students will continue to be taught by professors who overwhelmingly reject those values, and some even reject "constitutionalism."

It is frightening how dumb these graduates who come out of these elite schools are. Most couldn't tell you why we elect Preasidents by electoral college.
