MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace to Swalwell: Ready to ‘Get Mean and Fight?’

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace asked Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) on Wednesday if he and other Democrats were ready to "get mean and fight" in light of recent events concerning the Supreme Court.

Swalwell agreed he was willing to do just that following news Wednesday that Justice Anthony Kennedy will retire from the Supreme Court this summer and considering a stream of recent rulings from the Court that did not favor liberals.

"We've now heard almost word-for-word the same analysis from former Republican Steve Schmidt, from former Democratic Congresswoman Donna Edwards, from our own Rachel Maddow that it is time for you guys to get mean and fight," Wallace said. "Are you ready?"

"Yes, Nicolle," Swalwell said. "And we've seen this week that we cannot count on the Court to save us from the wrecking ball that is Donald Trump. And as far as what I can do as a congressman, electing a Democratic majority that can push that big red button to stop the wrecking ball, that's what we have to do."

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said "far out, what a day, a year, a life it is!"
You know, well you know, you had it comin' to you
Now, there's not a lot I can do

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no

I said, "far out, what a day, a year, a life it is!"
You know, well you know, you had it comin' to you
Now, there's not a lot I can do

Swalwell is a huge liar but that aside. If they in fact plan on being more violent than what they've already been they will be dealt with accordingly.
In the United States of America we use the tools of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to work our our differences. NOT VIOLENCE.
We will not go back to Civil War era

Do you think THAT is what THEY plan to do to invoke any change???
Ever heard of Thomas Jefferson?
He told us this stuff was coming and he told us how to handle it.
AND he didn't suggest taking anything like this stuff to the Supreme Court ---
he said "spill the blood of tyrants".
We have a few now. With violent supporters.
You won't go back to the "Civil War era" because they will kill you as soon as you plead for calm and order as the mob burns down your neighborhood.
You go ahead and sue them or file another legal brief that they condemn as racist, bigoted, and homophobic and openly tell you to stick it up your ace because the law means nothing to them, being all written by rich white slaveholders (another lie they tell).
Hold your hands up and yell "Don't do this!! It's wrong!! PLEASE!!".
I'm putting 20 rounds in them. THAT should help them calm down a bit.
If they need more "calming", I think I got that part handled.
I am far from alone.
Keep cheering, but chaos is approaching.

So the dems, who don't believe in the second amendment, want to start a "war" with republicans that are armed? The next civil war should end quickly.
