[See NewsBusters for more.] While hosting the scary sounding Democracy in Peril on CNN on Thursday, Jim Acosta blasted the "hard-right" Supreme Court for possibly overturning Roe v. Wade, which would increase democracy in the country, lamented that Democrats won't get rid of the filibuster in response to this, and decried their "life's a Mitch" attitude towards the situation.
Acosta began by declaring that Democrats pressured Justice Stephen Breyer into retirement out of fear that Sen. Mitch McConnell would block another nominee, "which is a remarkable turn of events considering this: Democrats have won the popular vote in seven out of the last eight presidential elections. Of course we have the electoral college system, which is how Trump, who lost the popular vote in 2016, got three picks on the Supreme Court."
