AOC: I believe that The Biden Administration should ignore this ruling. The courts rely on the legitimacy of their rulings and what they are currently doing is engaging in an unprecedented erosion of their legitimacy

We can’t start ignoring rules of Federal Courts no matter how much we despise them. That is what the appellate process is for.

"ignore this ruling" The Democrat party in a nutshell.

We are a nation of laws. Right or wrong, if one side should abide by them, so should the other. I like AOC but I disagree with her here.

AOC: Anything I disagree with is illegitimate.

Access to the pill is at risk; a national abortion ban could be coming. Yet I’m hearing a lot of “but norms!” How about this norm: “[the state] derives its just powers only from the consent of the governed.” Turn off West Wing and fight fascism.

This is a person who has taken an oath to uphold the Constitution. Wow.

That slippery slope about to get extra slippery in a hurry

If you applied this standard to the government as a whole then everyone would ignore the government's laws, including its tax laws.

AOC on CNN: "The courts rely on the legitimacy of their rulings, and when they make a mockery of our system, a mockery of our democracy, a mockery of our law ... we know that the executive branch has enforcement discretion."

Y’all remember in 2023 when AOC said Biden should “IGNORE” the Supreme Court and their rulings? Maybe Trump should do the same after today! 🤔

AOC: There’s a lot of people who are not paying the bill. And instead of paying that bill, what they're doing is they're taking folks like Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas on private jets in order to help facilitate additional rulings that only aggregate to their wealth.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look, and it is important that we remember that because what they rely on is the impression of power, the perception of inevitability in us giving up in advance Donald Trump is at record levels of unpopularity in his tenure. The Republican house is at record levels of unpopularity. They are underwater across the board and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this, they want us to blink first and we have too much to save.

AOC: We heard that CNN is not disclosing the party affiliation of the federal workers that are here tonight. And that's for a reason—because there is a fear over political retaliation by this administration and a singling out and isolating of career federal workers based on party affiliation, just in their participation in public civic discourse. And this is from a Republican party that claims to believe in free speech, which we know from their actions in the last couple of months, have actually been doing nothing but the opposite

AOC: What is extremely disturbing about what has happened in Virginia is this court overturned the will of three million Virginians. They can say what they want about the ballot initiative, but they explicitly chose to issue this ruling after the election happened. They had all the time in the world to issue an opinion or an injunction before allowing this election to happen. They did not overturn a map—they overturned an election. It is the power of the American people that should be the ultimate check on all three branches. The court’s ability to overturn an election that was clear in its result should be something that is called into question.

Phillip: For conservatives who are Maga Republicans and they do firmly believe in their heart of hearts that there was a weaponization of the Biden justice department. How on Earth can any of this be justified?

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable? To anyone in this country? How is this acceptable?

"I think what drives them is the fact they’re doing the will of the American people. They have a President that supports them and they have a Secretary leading from the front. They know that the Administration has their back." - ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons The patriotic men and women of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them while they risk their lives every single day to remove the worst of the worst. From bounties placed on their heads for their murders, threats to their families, stalking, and doxxing online, our officers are experiencing an unprecedented level of violence and threats against them and their families.

Hamas doesn’t just commit terrorism. They believe in it. It’s their strategy, their identity, their brand. This is not a government. It’s a terrorist regime that should have zero power, zero weapons, and zero legitimacy — anywhere.

PabloReports: What do you think of DHS suspending vehicular stops? AOC: A lot of the stuff they’re doing, they shouldn’t be doing in the first place. I think they’re trying to get ahead of the fact that people are realizing that. They should be facing consequences for killing innocent people in the streets, and they’re just trying to escape those consequences.

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández: This is horrible. When I went in there, that’s the first thing I thought as I started doing my searches: they are going to be recording this. And this is exactly why this whole process is flawed and a sham. How do they expect us to be able to go and investigate them if we’re given, you know, a minute? I mean, when we’re given limited time, do we need to review the files? They should be doing an investigation. They should be doing a thorough review and going after all of the people in those files whose names are right there that they haven’t investigated. It’s their job at the Department of Justice. They should be doing that.

AOC: They wanted to issue this statement as though we’re just going after these 30-year-old men on Medicaid playing video games in their basement, right? This was the narrative that we heard. First of all, I think everyone should have healthcare in America, regardless of who you are and what you’re doing. And the idea that there is anyone who is less deserving because of who they are is the problem to begin with. But that’s what they use to justify this, right? Because they want us to do the work for them. They want us to sort ourselves into the idea of deserving and undeserving, or pointing at our neighbors in terms of deserving and undeserving. And that smokescreen — that idea — is how they tried to pass a trillion dollars in healthcare cuts across the board for all of us.
