Pirro: The Intolerant Left is 'Changing the Rules'
Post# of 49407
In her Opening Statement this week, Judge Jeanine Pirro slammed the liberal left for "changing the rules" in order to push their political ideology.
Pirro pointed to demonstrators setting fires in public and blocking ideological opponents from speaking at colleges, as well as recent rulings on President Trump's executive actions.
"This is bigger than a travel ban, bigger than a debate question," Pirro said. "The left is changing black letter law and journalistic standards and the Constitution in order to satisfy their agenda."
She slammed U.S. District Court Judge Derrick Watson of Hawaii for blocking Trump's travel ban, saying Watson essentially "burn[ed] the Constitution" to stop President Trump from using his plenary powers.
"Since when do you look outside the four corners of an executive order... and reach back to what a president said on a campaign trail?" Pirro asked, after Watson ruled against the Trump administration this week.
She also criticized the court for declaring that citizens of the six countries should be awarded certain First Amendment protections.
"Maybe we ought to put them in Section 8 housing and send them over some mobile homes," Pirro said. "Judges cannot make decisions based upon their politics or their dislike for the president."
Pirro blasted former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile as a "lying, scheming, Machiavellian Democrat" after Brazile admitted to passing debate questions to Hillary Clinton from her post at CNN.
Brazile previously repeatedly denied any involvement in such an action.
