Nancy Pelosi Says She Has No Confidence in ‘Rogue’ Supreme Court
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said definitively Thursday that she has no confidence in the Supreme Court amid its dismal approval ratings, ethics controversies, and weighty forthcoming opinions.
On the two year anniversary of the court overturning Roe v. Wade, the former House speaker told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that Republicans’ restrictions on abortion will continue to be a key factor in the upcoming election, as was the case in the 2022 midterms. Cooper then asked how Pelosi felt about the court’s current docket.
“Do you have confidence in the Supreme Court?” the AC360 anchor asked, noting the court’s still pending decision regarding Trump’s monarch-like claims of immunity from prosecution, the controversy over the Jan. 6-linked flags at the homes of Justice Samuel Alito, and lingering ethical questions about Alito’s and Justice Clarence Thomas’ lavish travel and gifts.
