No, American so-called Democratic voters deserve the blame. they threw a temper tantrum and threw their votes away on independent candidates or didn't vote at all because Hillary was the nominee and not Bernie. Go look at the swing states in that election, I did. The upsurge of votes to 3rd party candidates from elections prior proves that a lot of people did a 3rd party "protest vote" and in almost all of those cases the number of new 3rd party votes was higher than the margin Clinton lost by in those states. So-called liberals threw every cause they claimed to care for under the bus and handed the White House to a domestic terrorist criminal for 4 years, also handing him 3 SCotUS pics. This blame lies squarely on their heads. Blaming Republicans is like blaming a snake for biting you when you get too close to it. An animal is going to do what an animal is going to do.

Lawrence O'Donnell , this presentation is one for the history books. It would be wonderful for a repeat of this in primetime on all stations ,just as a president's inspiring speech may be broadcast.

Let us not forget that Neil Gorsuch's Mom is Anne Gorsuch. She was a Colorado state representative, and was part of a caucus known as the "House Crazies", because they wanted to fundamentally change government (into a far right-wing authoritarian regime). She was later the EPA administrator under Reagan, in the early 1980's, and she personally slashed that agency's budget by 22%. She also fired career employees (on her own whimsy) and hired industry puppets to cover those positions. And her legacy? Well, she became the FIRST cabinet member to ever be held in CONTEMPT of CONGRESS for illegal actions that benefited the owners of a $1.6 BILLION dollar Superfund site. Neil has an axe to grind ... and he's grinding it down to the handle ... taking it out on the citizens of the united States of America. Neil Gorsuch is not qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice. He was hand-picked by Mitch McConnell and the Federalist Society (who really aren't very 'federalist', at all) to lay waste to the U.S. justice system. He's the quintessential bull in the china shop. Or chimp with a loaded gun ... or grenade.

On my first day in Constitutional Law as a second year law student, my professor, a judge, asked the class, “What is the Constitution?” There were so many excellent answers, but each was met with a “No.” After so many good answers, the class sat baffled. Our professor finally said, “The constitution is whatever 5 out of the 9 justices say it is.” Um what? During that year, he also kept drilling us to pay attention to who made up the court at the time a decision was made. That would usually predict the outcome. And here we are with a 6-3 Court that was Frankensteined together by the Federalist Society just doing their thing.

Exactly. The court is supposed to rule on REAL disputes, from REAL people, with REAL evidence. Not hypotheticals. Not lies. Those are the rules because otherwise they would be legislating from the bench. This court is violating the Constitution they swore to uphold.

Justice Kagen actually serves. She has the grave misfortune to serve the law while 6 of her fellow Justices thumb their noses at the rule of law. Her 6 benchmates are mainly political operatives with cushy lifetime appointments. They serve only the rich men in the Federalist Society who procured those cushy appointments for them. Brown-Jackson and Sotomayor are similarly afflicted with REAL JOBS as serving Justices while their fellows piddle away with the "culture wars" their masters dictate to them. Crisis of faith? I can only imagine.

Very insightful. And overdue exposure of this Extreme Court.

Granting ANY governing group "tenure for life" is a recipe for disaster. Corruption is hard-wired into Humanity.

The constitution specifically and purposefully avoided term limits for the Supreme Court so that they could rise above partisan politics. This way their decisions are not so easily swayed by fickle public opinion. That was also what 1/2 of Lawrences monologue was addressing. The court has only become corrupted because the selection process was corrupted by Mitch McConnell. Put the blame where it belongs!

Lawrence that report was great thank you for sharing this information with us, why? Have the news have not reported this information to the public, Our courts have failed the people of this country

Again, Lawrence O'Donnell shares his thoughts in an outstanding commentary. Few if any other commentors on our political scene provide us reportage and commentary as thoughtful and well-articulated. We're better off for his observations and the work it takes to bring them to us. Thank you, Mr. O'Donnell.

Your response is exactly why we have such morons as Biden and Harris in the White House. You're brainwashed by MSNBC, CNN, and other liberal, leftist news media. O'Donnell's "outstanding commentary" was full of lies, but you don't know that because you just listen, believe everything, and follow along--just like all the other sheep.

Thank you, sir, for your eloquent words. I am ashamed that our country has come to this low point in our history. I ask myself what more must we tolerate as Americans. We are a laughing stock on the world stage, and I don't know how or if we will ever be able to be the guiding light we once were.

I guess its because they see it as a problem that does not affect them, until it does. This is just 1 example in a host of unsolved craziness! The power is with the people! So USE it!

Thank you for a thoughtful, soul-searching, well-documented display of the shameful behavior and judicial mis-conduct of another one of our three branches of government. So sad.

You make me cry, Mr. O'Donnell. I too saw the court this way as I grew up. Now, as you say, they make things up to suit their agenda.
