In this brief commentary, Dennis Prager (Speaker A) argues that the political left has effectively controlled the United States Supreme Court for the past 58 years, beginning in 1962. He claims the left’s strategy is to reshape institutions that do not align with its agenda, using the Court as a recent example. Prager warns that if the left feels the Court is not sufficiently left‑leaning, they will pursue court‑packing, adding justices to shift the balance. He predicts a retaliatory cycle: Democrats might expand the Court to 12 seats, Republicans could respond by expanding to 18, and Democrats could further increase it to 21, leading to an unmanageable judiciary. The overall message is that left‑wing influence, in his view, systematically destroys established institutions.

This is the left's view. If the institution does not enable us to run it, we will change the institution. They have been running the Supreme Court since 1962. That's 58 years. So they assume the Supreme Court will be on the left. That's the best. And if not, they'll add more justices. Of course, then that ends the Supreme Court as we know it, because as soon as the Republicans have power, they'll expand it too. So they'll do it to 12, the Democrats, then the Republicans will do it to 18. Then the Democrats will be reelected, they'll go to 21. Right? It'll be very tough then to name all the justices. Gotta admit. But everything the left touches, it destroys. They acknowledge it. The Supreme Court is just the latest.
