Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) assailed the legitimacy of the United States Supreme Court this week, alleging in an interview that the court has “gone rogue” because she disagrees with its decisions.
The former Speaker of the House made the statements during a Monday night interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, when asked if she trusted the court.
“No, I think they have gone rogue. It’s most unfortunate. But it’s unfortunate further to see what the other justices … what happened to the chief justice? Did he go weak or did he go rogue? I don’t know. And that’s the same thing with these members of Congress, if I can take it back to that, because, as tragic as that night was — and they were coming after me to put a bullet in my head. They were going to hang the — have a gallows for the vice president of the United States.” she said.

“So, no, I don’t have confidence in the Supreme Court. I think that some of the decisions they have — see, I respect their point of view. If they have a point of view about a woman’s right to choose, okay, but that’s not what they’re there to do, to advocate for a point of view. Run for Congress.” she continued.
“I want us to get back to a place where the three branches of government, as our Founders initiated, are respected across the board. But I don’t have a lot of confidence in this court, unfortunately. I say that with a heavy heart.” the former Speaker concluded.
