Referring to the Supreme Court AOC wrote: “We need to reform or do away with the whole thing, for the sake of the planet”

Catastrophic. A filibuster carveout is not enough. We need to reform or do away with the whole thing, for the sake of the planet. https://t.co/if8PIbfs42

Summit News reports: The ‘squad’ leader also accused SCOTUS of a “judicial coup” and called for it to be ‘restrained’ after it took up a 2020 election-related case.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court agreed to hear Moore v Harper, an appeal advocating for extreme interpretation of the Constitution that could make it easier for state legislatures to suppress the vote, draw unfair election districts, enable partisan interference in ballot counting.

The case in Moore v. Harper, and it's a challenge to the North Carolina Supreme Court's authority to strike down the legislature's extreme partisan gerrymanders under the state constitution. We already know there are four likely votes for the legislature. https://t.co/6Hwvb1yvgi

AOC suggested that this sets a precedent to do away with the Presidential election… or something:

We are witnessing a judicial coup in process.

If the President and Congress do not restrain the Court now, the Court is signaling they will come for the Presidential election next.

All our leaders – regardless of party – must recognize this Constitutional crisis for what it is. https://t.co/DzoIh4n08D

The latest rants come after a week of AOC calling for the Supreme Court to be abolished in the wake of the abortion ruling:
