Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested that Congress should use a
variety of methods to limit the power of the Supreme Court.

In an appearance on CNN on Sunday, the New York Democrat argued that the Supreme
Court was compromising its own legitimacy and that she believes Congress must
act to limit its power.

"I truly do," Ocasio-Cortez answered when asked if she believes the power of the
Supreme Court justices should be limited. "And this is not a new — this is not a
new development in history. This is part of our system of checks and balances.
The courts, if they were to proceed without any check on their power, without
any balance on their power, it would be a dangerous, authoritarian expansion of
power in the Supreme Court."



The New York Democrat then said that Congress should use every tool at its
disposal against the Supreme Court, including investigations, subpoenas, and
impeachments.

"We have a broad level of tools to deal with misconduct, overreach, and abuse of
power, and the Supreme Court has not been receiving the adequate oversight
necessary in order to preserve their own legitimacy," Ocasio-Cortez said. "And
in the process, they themselves have been destroying the legitimacy of the
court, which is profoundly dangerous for our entire democracy."

In Kensington, just north of Center City in Philly, an American tragedy is
playing out as lives are crushed beneath the deadly weight of heroin and
Fentanyl.

There you see the hollowed and haunting eyes of Americans forgotten by their
government, who mill about, if they can stand, in a state that more resembles
death than life, for blocks on end, simply misery.



There is perhaps no city on earth more associated with corruption than
Philadelphia, where kickbacks are a hobby and graft is nearly perfected. Such
has it always been.

But there’s always been a deal, or so it seemed. The Democrat party and their
allies in the unions would wet their beaks, but in exchange, social order was
maintained. That deal, as Kensington makes clear, is all but over.

As we arrived in the forsaken neighborhood a young man was sprawled on the
ground, his shock of red hair and scraggly beard matted, and he did not appear
to be breathing.

"Do we call 911?," I asked my cameraman. We agreed we should, after a brief
discussion, and as we waited a small crowd gathered. One kind woman, also
clearly on drugs herself, ran off to see if she could find some Narcan. 

As we waited I met Andrew, a young man about to graduate high school, who is new
to the neighborhood. He told me "It’s nice, but there’s so many addicts, and we
don’t know what to do about it." 

When I asked if the city could be doing more, he told me "Maybe, but a lot of
these people don’t want help."

About 15 minutes later the ambulance pulled up. By that time the young man on
the sidewalk had regained something resembling consciousness, his hand gently
scratching the open sores on his neck.

Casting an accusing glance at Andrew the paramedic barked, "Did you call this
in?"

"No," the young man protested.



"I did," I said, "He wasn’t moving, I couldn’t tell if he was breathing," almost
forgetful that I was describing a human life.

The EMT guy sighed, he pointed down the street to the sea of prone bodies as if
to say, "That’s everyone here."

It was hard to blame him.

Making our way down the block towards the elevated train overpass you could see
what he meant, a slow motion tragedy of people with loved ones somewhere who
barely seemed awake or alive.



One woman very clearly did not want to be on camera, "Stop filming!," she
yelled, "Do you want to get kicked in the balls?"

I’d have taken the threat more seriously had I thought she was capable of
standing up. As it was, I simply replied, "I’d prefer not to."

Incredibly, beneath the rattle of the elevated train above, rushing commuters
beyond this nightmare, a hodgepodge of small businesses eke out some kind of
impossible beat existence.

Sneaker stores, a nail salon, some kind of dollar store with a sign in the
window announcing "no credit cards," they all sat like the set of some horrible
play in which the actors were slowly dying out front.

A small ways away, near McPherson Park I spoke to the son of the owner of J&R
Grocery, he told me that yes, the diaspora of addicts mingling all about were an
issue, but that, "I make sure they stay off the stoop, we run a safe place for
our customers."



CRISIS IN KENSINGTON: IF 'GOOD OLD FASHION HEROIN' WAS BACK, LIFE WOULD BE
BETTER RECOVERING, ADDICT SAYS

To this son of a Kensington entrepreneur, and to so many who live in this place,
it was all just so normal, just the wallpaper of their neighborhood, as if it is
all just an inevitable reality.

We all know there are no easy answers, but in Kensington there are no answers at
all, aside from two beat cops, which in fairness in more than I’ve seen in
places like San Francisco and Los Angeles, where there was no semblance of city
government.

It was as if this place is meant to be its own kind of prison or asylum, where
the destitute addicts are simply left alone to wither, and to die.

Am I standing in the greatest nation on earth, one has to wonder amid the dark
squalor and pain? It sure doesn’t feel like it.

But in the big stone buildings just down the road, where the city’s politicians
and elites play business as usual with the public’s money, this problem might as
well not even exist, nor the lives this problem crushes.

It is what it is. And nobody, it seems, has the will, or the means to fix it.
