President Biden’s State of The Union address took a dark turn on Thursday evening when he appeared to threaten the Supreme Court over their ruling on Roe V. Wade.
“And with all due respect, justices, women are not without electoral power. Excuse me, electoral or political power,” Biden said. “You’re about to realize just how much you…,” he continued before the end of his statement was drowned out by cheering Democrats.
The Supreme Court is set to make a number of crucial rulings that could derail left-wing lawfare attempts directed at former President Donald Trump. The court has set April as the target date for opening arguments in Trump’s presidential immunity argument, which could end Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6 case.
Supreme Court justices are also set to rule on the validity of the application of “obstruction of an official proceeding” charges, a felony that has been used to jail hundreds of January 6 protesters who would have otherwise been charged with misdemeanors. The obscure legal theory also forms half of Smith’s January 6 case.
Elected Democrats and left-wing activists have repeatedly made it clear that they want former President Trump convicted of a crime before the 2024 election.
Elsewhere in Thursday’s speech — which could be President Biden’s final State of The Union address — he once again portrayed his political opponent as a “threat to democracy.”
“Years ago on January 6, when insurrections stormed this very Capitol and placed a dagger at the throat of American democracy. Many of you were here on that darkest of days. We all saw with our own eyes the insurrections were not patriots, they had come to stop the peaceful transfer of power, to overstep the will of the people,” Biden said, adding that the minor riot posed the greatest “threat to America” since the Civil War.
