Mark Levin Rages at Amy Coney Barrett in Wild Rant, Asks If She Would Be ‘Okay’ With Slavery

Fox News host Mark Levin erupted at Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Sunday night over comments she made during oral arguments last week about birthright citizenship.

On Life, Liberty & Levin, the conservative commentator lashed out at Barrett’s line of questioning last Thursday toward Trump administration Solicitor General D. John Sauer.

Levin accused her of misunderstanding the role of the courts and said that in many cases, jurists had gotten it wrong.

The cases he cited included ones deciding slavery, Japanese internment, and racial segregation.

Barrett, who was appointed by President Donald Trump during his first term, appeared to question the administration’s commitment to following lower court rulings it might disagree with.

Levin took issue with her questions and launched into a historical tirade.

He referenced three infamous Supreme Court decisions: 1857’s Dred Scott v. Sandford, which upheld slavery, 1896’s Plessy v. Ferguson, which allowed racial segregation, and 1944’s Korematsu v. United States, which allowed Japanese-Americans to be detained indefinitely during World War II.

“So I would ask Justice Barrett, should that decision have been honored?” He said of the court’s ruling on slavery. “Is that okay with you?”

Levin argued the courts “aren’t always right” and that historically the Supreme Court “is often wrong.” Levin continued:

Ask the people who were put in internment camps in the United States, the Japanese Americans under FDR in the Korematsu decision when your court upheld it or ask all the people who had to deal with segregation in the Plessy case in 1896 because your court ruled separate but equal as equal.

Now, you eventually got around to Brown versus Board of Education to fix it. But for about 60 years, in the intervening period of time, people suffered as a result of the Supreme Court decision.

He concluded, “You see, ladies and gentlemen, Barrett has it all wrong. She’s worried about power.”
