There are a few unshakable rules in political discourse – only a few, but there are some that never seem to be broken. One of these rules is that it is always the left, never the right, that calls for trashing the Constitution when they don’t get their way. This is a fundamental law of the universe, which shall henceforth be known as “Clark’s Law of Leftists Destroying the Village to Save It.”
(I do need to compile a list of all of these laws I’ve been documenting.)
The latest example? As our sister site Twitchy informs us, leftist lunatic Fran Lebowitz, on Bill Maher’s HBO show, “Real Time,” has called for President Biden to – get this – dissolve the Supreme Court. Amy Curtis writes:
But now that Donald Trump has appointed three conservative SCOTUS Justices, tilting the balance of the court rightward, it’s the worst thing ever. They want to pack it, reform it, impose arbitrary ethics on the conservative members.
Except for Fran Lebowitz. That doesn’t go far enough for her. She wants Biden to unilaterally dissolve SCOTUS because ORANGE MAN BAD.
This is an idea that is not only unconstitutional, but it’s also well to the left of crazy. But that’s not stopping Lebowitz, and even the liberal Maher isn’t having it:

If Fran Lebowitz has ever read the Constitution – doubtful – she must have seen it as a list of suggestions, not the highest law in the land. But in that, among her fellow leftists, she has plenty of company.
Here’s one of the better assessments of Fran Lebowitz in the X replies:
This is a woman who can’t drive a car, probably couldn’t change a light bulb

Bill Maher was quick to reply to Lebowitz on the show:
Bill Maher’s Guest Said Something So Stupid That Even He Thinks She’s Crazy
“Biden should dissolve the Supreme Court.”
Fran Lebowitz said this after declaring that the Supreme Court “shouldn’t even be allowed to be called the Supreme Court.”

Bill Maher found this comment so crazy that he replied, “Come on.”
But Fran responded that Biden’s “the king” and can do whatever he wants.
Sorry, Fran. That’s not how it works.
True. That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works. We should also remember, that it’s the left that is always talking about dialing back the tone in our political discourse – right before they start threatening to kill people:

Fortunately, there’s no reason we should take anything Fran Lebowitz says seriously. Bill Maher certainly doesn’t. Anyone claiming that the Supreme Court is a “rubber stamp for Trump” hasn’t been paying attention to the Court’s rulings on any number of things since Trump was still president, although it’s perishingly certain that the only decision Lebowitz can name is the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling that revoked Roe v. Wade and sent the matter of abortion back to the states, where it belongs.
As for Lebowitz, I’ll offer her this challenge, the same one I offer to whiners who complain about the Second Amendment:
Fran, go ahead and propose a constitutional amendment to remove the Supreme Court. Pitch it to whoever your Congressional representative is. See how far you get. Because that’s what you’ll have to do, and I would remind you that even if you get Congress to go along – doubtful – you will have to gain the ratification of 38 of the 50 states.
Good luck with that.
