I say this all the time. Looking at their anti-American actions and hate filled bloviating, I wonder why they just don't all self-deport.
The Democratic Party is a case study in untenable contradictions.
Its collective reaction to the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in United States v. Skrmetti, which confirmed a state’s right to ban transgender treatments for kids, exemplified the party’s self-righteous brand of incoherence.
In 2023, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed the legislature’s Bill 1 — forbidding medical practitioners in the Volunteer State from using puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or surgical interventions to treat minors suffering from gender dysphoria — into law.
It was a popular, commonsense measure that state lawmakers passed overwhelmingly: The vote was 26 to 6 in Tennessee’s Senate and 77 to 16 in its House of Representatives.
And it was right in line with national polling on the topic.
One national poll found that 68% percent of Americans oppose the use of puberty blockers in children under age 14, and a 2024 survey suggested that 59% of the country — including 36% of Democrats — support a blanket ban, like Tennessee’s, on all gender treatments for minors.
But that didn’t stop the left from going to great lengths to try to keep Tennessee, and 26 other states, from protecting their youngest and most vulnerable residents.
The attempt to do so was equal parts farcical and sinister: The Biden administration and the American Civil Liberties Union argued that these mostly uncontroversial bills constituted a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection clause.
Does any part of the US Constitution forbid the American people from using the democratic process to legislate out of existence experimental, medically unnecessary treatments on children?
Obviously not, as the Supreme Court recognized last week.
Yet the reaction to its acknowledgment has been predictably over-the-top.
“Today the Supreme Court chose to cast transgender children in the shadows,” bellowed New Jersey Sen. and self-styled Spartacus Cory Booker.
“Trans kids suffer when they don’t get medically necessary care. This is a brazen political decision by the Supreme Court,” insisted Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
“This is about health care,” asserted Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who accused “politicians and judges” of “stepping into the doctor’s office and usurping the decision-making that should be left to families and doctors.”
All this from the “Democracy Dies in Darkness” party — the same one that warned us President Donald Trump’s re-election would mean the end of self-government itself.
Apparently, Democrats’ faith in the wisdom of the people can be shattered by a democratic outcome they don’t like.
This wasn’t the first time Democrats have revealed themselves to be authoritarian hypocrites.
