LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Fox News host Laura Ingraham recently offered her perspective on a contentious Senate Judiciary Committee hearing regarding the nominations of several Biden appointees as federal judges.

Ingraham's commentary on 'The Ingraham Angle' shed light on what she sees as a concerted effort by Democrats to manipulate the judiciary in favor of their ideological agenda.

Laura Ingraham says Biden admin prioritizing diversity over competence

Ingraham wasted no time asserting that since the beginning Biden admin has prioritized "the left's demand for diversity and activism above competence and merit." She remarked, "From day one, the Biden administration has put the left's demand for diversity and activism above competence and merit."

This sentiment, she argued, has permeated various policy areas, ranging from immigration to transgender rights. In her view, the reliance on hand-picked judges to validate these policies reflects a disregard for constitutional principles, the rule of law, and even basic biological realities.

Ingraham remarked, "Now, Democrats were hoping, I think, to squeak these nominees through — all of them women — knowing that Americans don't really see much of these hearings..."

Ingraham's critique of Biden focussed on a particular aspect of the nominations under consideration — the attempt by Democrats to expedite the confirmation of nominees, all of whom were women, in the hopes of avoiding public scrutiny.

Ingraham described the hearing as a "doozy," revealing what she described as the manipulation of the judicial process. She continued, "Today's was a doozy, and it was illustrative of the Democrats' perversion of our Article III courts."

Throughout her commentary, Ingraham voiced concern over a progressive encroachment into the judiciary. She argued that while the left has faced setbacks in court cases due to their lack of control over the judiciary, recent events suggest they are determined to change that reality.



 

Laura Ingraham blames Democrats for 'unconstitutional madness'

Ingraham warned that the consequences of such a shift could be dire, with criminals potentially receiving preferential treatment over law-abiding citizens and traditional Christian values being sidelined.

Ingraham stated, "Now, in Biden's first term, remember: They've lost huge cases because the hard left doesn't yet control the judiciary. But as we saw today, they're doing everything possible to get there."

Ingraham's solution to what she perceives as an impending crisis in the judiciary is clear: a Republican-controlled Senate and the return of Donald Trump to the White House. For her, these represent the best chance of halting what she describes as "unconstitutional madness" and preserving the integrity of the nation's courts.

She concluded, "To stop this unconstitutional madness — that hearing was staggering — we need a Republican Senate, and we need to put Donald Trump back in the White House."
