In an unsettling twist, not far removed from the near assassination of Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh by a radical leftist, ABC’s The View hosts welcomed author John Grisham recently. There they fantasized about a horrific scenario, assassination of more Supreme Court justices in a sequel to The Pelican Brief and advanced thoroughly debunked conspiracies surrounding the 2000 election.

John Grisham, the famed writer, bolstered by the support from the hosts indulged in recalling his acclaimed book “The Pelican Brief”, in which two Supreme Court justices were killed off. Prompted by co-host Joy Behar, Grisham entertained the idea of replicating the plot and creating yet another tale of fictitious judicial assassinations. The prospect was met with an oddly enthusiastic response from the hosts, despite their hurried remonstrations laughing it off as ‘fiction.’

Grisham, riding on the pseudo-conspiratorial wave, continued his remarks about the Supreme Court and its supposed decline. He argued that it all began with the Bush verses Gore verdict in 2000, provocatively suggesting that the decision was a politically driven maneuver by “five Republicans on the court who elected a president.” Matching Grisham’s unfounded claim with enthusiastic support was Behar, despite concrete findings by the left-leaning Miami Herald and USA Today affirming Bush’s rightful victory in Florida.

The popular author concluded his speculation-fueled rant by suggesting forced retirement for federal judges at age 75. It can’t be overlooked, however, that 75 is exactly the current age of Justice Clarence Thomas and swiftly approaching for Justice Samuel Alito.

This appearance on The View, sadly, follows the trend of the show’s hosts endorsing acts of hostility toward conservative Supreme Court justices. Earlier, they were seen approving radical liberals carrying out protests at their private residences and belittling calls for upgraded security after the Kavanaugh incident.

As their dialogues continue to highlight reckless commentary and cultivate an environment of contempt and hostility, we should pause and consider the serious implications these casual remarks hold for civil discourse. This instance is a stark reminder that freedom of speech comes with responsibility, one that shouldn’t be forgotten amidst growing polarized narratives.
