Meaning, if the best and the brightest conservative judges can side with the liberals on the Supreme Court on something nobody ever thought any sensible conservative would do, then what is the point of having a conservative judicial movement?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-352639\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061720-Tump-MAGA.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061720-Tump-MAGA.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061720-Tump-MAGA-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061720-Tump-MAGA-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>It\u2019s the left that has a liberal judicial movement. It is the left that finds judges that never waver, that never do anything but what they are to do: They are to rule in favor of liberalism in every case. They are to rule in favor of liberal people in every case, liberal policy. They are there to write law from the bench. That\u2019s their mission; that\u2019s what they do.<\/p>\n<p>We do not, and yet we\u2019re the ones demonized! We\u2019re the ones lied about. (sniveling impression) &#8220;This is vicious. There\u2019s this mean-spirited, conservative judicial movement out there. It\u2019s led by the Federalist Society. They\u2019re a bunch of Nazis,&#8221; and so forth. All these insults are coming around. There is no&#8230; Hawley is right. There is no judicial conservative movement. There can\u2019t be.<\/p>\n<p>But Hawley also said what that proves is legislation doesn\u2019t happen in the Senate anymore, and it doesn\u2019t happen in the House. Now, let\u2019s take a look at this one case, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2020\/06\/16\/did-the-kavanaugh-hearings-intimidate-conservative-justices\/\">the Gorsuch case, where textualism was used to go ahead and look at the Civil Rights Act of 1964<\/a> and say, &#8220;Yep! It included transgenders, because we think it should.&#8221; But it didn\u2019t!<\/p>\n<p>Transgenders, transgenderism was nothing when that law was written. If you want the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include transgenders, then what you have to do is go back and write legislation for it. They didn\u2019t want to do it! The Republicans didn\u2019t want to do it because they don\u2019t want to get grief from conservative donors. Pelosi didn\u2019t want to do it because she\u2019d just as soon Republican turncoats on the court do it for her.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-352637\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061720-Hawley-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061720-Hawley-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061720-Hawley-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061720-Hawley-2-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>She wins a twofer here. They get transgenderism in the Civil Rights Act plus they get conservative judges betraying the conservative movement. That\u2019s a win-win for her or any of the other Democrats out there that look at matters this way, count wins and losses this way. But the vast majority&#8230; That\u2019s why this police reform bill that the Senate is now debating&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I actually did a double take because you just don\u2019t see actual legislation happening on Capitol Hill very much. They farm everything out. Base closures, unelected regulators writing regulation nobody ever sees until they run up against them, judges making law from the bench. Except our judges don\u2019t. They help liberals make law from the bench. So it\u2019s a&#8230; (interruption)<\/p>\n<p>Well, no, what it does is it\u2019s setting Hawley up well for a presidential run in 2024. I think you\u2019ve got two Republicans right now that&#8230; We\u2019re just talking about 2024 right now. We\u2019re assuming that Trump wins. We\u2019re assuming Trump\u2019s gonna win in November. So the next presidential race where there will be an open ticket will be 2024.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-352635\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061720-Cotton-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061720-Cotton-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061720-Cotton-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061720-Cotton-1-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Right now, Josh Hawley is making a move on it, and so is Tom Cotton, and they are positioning themselves as heirs of the Trump movement, heirs of a populist movement. They are not selling some return to conservative, small government &#8212; you know, whatever the old conservative arguments were: Smaller, less spending, smaller government.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re setting themselves up to inherit the Trump agenda, which is populism, Make America Great Again. That\u2019s okay. I mean, I\u2019m fine with that. I think it\u2019s cool for them to already be thinking about this.
