Jon Stewart whipped out a pair of middle fingers for the Supreme Court after accusing them of leaving the country “unarmed in the face of a full frontal assault on democratic principle.”
On the latest episode of The Weekly Show, Stewart wrapped up the episode by taking viewer questions from his producers, one focusing on the Supreme Court.
“I think they would be so much better for this country if they were actually baseball umpires,” Stewart said after a viewer asked about Supreme Court Justices “calling balls and strikes.”
Stewart accused the Supreme Court of “redefining corruption” and took particular issue with the 2010 Citizens United decision, which reversed campaign-finance restrictions and allows corporations to pump unlimited amounts of money into elections.
“They have single-handedly made it impossible for us to reform and save our democracy. Decision after decision after decision by the Supreme Court has left us unarmed in the face of a full frontal assault on democratic principle,” Stewart said.
The law, he added, is “impossible to reform” and no incumbent lawmaker has any serious interest in reforming it because it benefits them.
“Do you know what I think it’s going to force us to do? I truly mean this. There has to be a process of amending the Constitution. This idea that Citizens United stands as the law of the land is the biggest bunch of sh*t. The Constitution isn’t a suicide pact and money is killing this country,” Stewart said.
He then blasted Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and called his court “one of the worst things” to happen to the country.
“The Roberts court has been the worst thing to happen to this country in a long, long time. It’s the way that they made it so that agencies no longer have the ability to regulate anything. They’ve made everything in this country subject to ideological capture and financial corruption. Everything,” Stewart said.
“No, but Jon, they’re impartial because they struck down the tariffs,” producer Gillian Spear sarcastically said.
Stewart then threw up both of his middle fingers and danced them around for the camera.
“Here’s what I say to them,” he said.
