Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, highlighting a concerning trend among left-leaning politicians who seem to lack trust in elected officials’ decision-making abilities. Rokita emphasized that this sentiment is pervasive on the left, where there’s a tendency to bypass elected bodies and take matters into their own hands.
In response to the recent unanimous Supreme Court ruling in favor of former President Trump’s 14th Amendment case, Rokita pointed out the reactions from individuals like Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold. Griswold’s statement on MSNBC, implying that the responsibility to safeguard democracy lies with voters due to Congress’s inefficiency, drew criticism from Rokita. He questioned the circular reasoning behind such arguments, especially when those like Griswold attempted to impede the very voter decisions they claim to champion.
Despite the contentious nature of the ruling, Rokita remained upbeat, seeing it as a positive step towards restoring trust in the electoral process. He expressed optimism about returning decision-making power to the hands of voters, which he views as a fundamental aspect of upholding the Constitution and preserving American exceptionalism. Rokita believes that anyone who values these principles will recognize the significance of the Supreme Court’s decision and its implications for the democratic process.
