GOP is Shocked...Shocked!

Republicans have expressed outrage at Obama’s statement on the Supreme Court on Monday, in which he noted previous conservative criticisms that  “…an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law,” and expressed confidence that the court would not “take that step”.  Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell, for example, said that the President’s remarks demonstrate “…a fundamental lack of respect for our system of checks and balances." This despite a long history of Republican complaints about “activist judges”, including some thinly veiled incitements to violence, as detailed in this post by Jon Perr.

I’m shocked, said the GOP,

But we really can't disagree

That the court he maligns

(He steals our best lines)

Is incented politically.
