In exactly 22 seconds during a late-night television appearance, Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showcased her lack of understanding how the United States government works. Ms. AOC literally gets the construct of our government reversed.
According to AOC it is “the responsibility of the president and congress to put the Supreme Court in check.”
Exactly the opposite is true.
It is the literal role and responsibility of the Supreme Court to check the constitutional validity of the legislative and executive branch. The supreme court exists, almost exclusively, to keep the president and congress in check. WATCH:
Ms. AOC could not be more wrong if she tried. However, this is a great example of how basic civics are unknown to some of the people in congress. Quite remarkable.
