The “Cancel Culture”<\/em> rhetoric is an exclusively right-wing phenomenon intended to provide conservatives with a platform for whining about their imaginary victimhood. It is a thoroughly manufactured variant of what they used to call political correctness. Never mind that Republicans, Fox News – and especially the Undisputed King of Cancel Culture, Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong> – are more often the perpetrators of the alleged “canceling.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/p>\n

Now Fox News is upping the ante with their cancellation fixation. While they frequently aimed their animus at targets like children’s toys<\/a><\/strong>, or sports figures<\/a><\/strong>, or even their own GOP confederates<\/a><\/strong> who they deem insufficiently obedient, they have now put the Supreme Court in their sights.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on a case from Mississippi that seeks to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Virtually every media analysis of the proceedings came away with the impression the six conservative justices were strongly leaning toward upholding the Mississippi law that effectively bans abortion. But for some reason, that lockstep concurrence with anti-choice dogma wasn’t enough for Fox News host Laura Ingraham and her ideological twin, Sen. Ted Cruz. They were both incensed about something that was unclear. Perhaps it was the Court’s failure to issue an immediate edict sending all women who have considered abortion to Gitmo for reeducation. You decide…<\/p>\n

Ingraham:<\/strong> If we have six Republican appointees on this court, after all the money that has been raised, the Federalist Society, all these big fat cat dinners – I’m sorry, I’m pissed about this – If this court with six justices cannot do the right thing here, the constitutional thing, then I think it’s time to do what Robert Bork said we should do. Which is to circumscribe the jurisdiction of this court and if they wanna blow it up, then that’s the way to change things finally. Because this can’t stand. This is insane.
\nCruz:<\/strong> I would do that in a heartbeat. As you know the Constitution gives Congress the authority to restrict the jurisdiction of the court. I think we should do that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ingraham is really mad at the possibility that the Supreme Court won\u2019t rule a certain way after \u201call the money that has been raised\u201d pic.twitter.com\/jaHo1uIdfX<\/a><\/p>\n
