It’s hard to know which senator from Massachusetts is worse, Elizabeth Warren or Ed Markey, who recently called the Supreme Court illegitimate and called for packing the court.
Markey also said the recent seats that went to conservative justices were stolen.
Isn’t this the sort of thing Democrats and the media have called conspiracy theories?
Mediaite reported:
Senate Democrat Rails Against ‘Illegitimate, Far-Right’ Supreme Court, Calls for Taking Back ‘Stolen’ Seats
Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) suggested expanding the Supreme Court in a Thursday speech, claiming the court is currently “illegitimate” and “far-right” and could pose a threat to any potential gun control legislation passed by Congress.
At a press conference where he and other Democrats called for action on gun control in the wake of the Uvalde, Texas elementary school shooting, Markey targeted the Supreme Court on top of Republicans, the NRA, and former President Donald Trump. Trump appointed Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh.
“We have to take very seriously the threat which an illegitimate, far-right Supreme Court poses to gun safety in our country,” the senator said. “We have to expand the Supreme Court to get back the two stolen seats that the Republicans and Donald Trump took from the American people.”

If you're one of the people who wants Washington to "do something," on gun violence look at people like Ed Markey who want to shift the debate to every other political goal they have. pic.twitter.com/GumsYlR02y

Will the media ask other Democrats if they agree with him?
