WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell accused the Biden administration of undermining the independence of the U.S. judiciary as a presidential commission explores ways to revamp the conservative-leaning U.S. Supreme Court.
In remarks honoring the tenure of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, McConnell referenced a recent speech by Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Ecuador about the threats to democracy there. Blinken, McConnell said, should take a look at Democrats’ actions here.
“Tony Blinken flies to Latin America to finger-wag other nations about pressuring judges while his own boss tries the same trick right here at home. It’d be perfect satire if it wasn’t so crazy, or scary,” McConnell said at The Heritage Foundation on Thursday evening.
