Howard Stern Says He'll Run for President to Pack Supreme Court After They Overturned Roe

Howard Stern said he wants to run for president following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. On the Monday edition of The Howard Stern Show he began discussing the idea with co-host Robin Quivers. “I said to Robin, and I hate to say this, but, but I said to her, ‘I’m actually gonna probably have to run for president now,'” Stern said. “I was trying to push him into it earlier. Now he’s reluctantly stepping up,” Quivers said. Stern began to talk about his plan to abolish the electoral college as soon as he took office. “The only reason I would run and I start — I went into a long winded speech over the weekend to Robin about how I am going to do the very simple thing. That’ll set the country straight one vote, one person, no more of this Electoral College, I’m getting rid of it. And then Robin said, ‘Well, can you do that as president?’ And I said, ‘I don’t know, let’s find out!'”

“The problem with most presidents, they have too big of an agenda. The only agenda I would have is to make the country fair again, this whole mess that we’re in with that, um, lightweight Clarence Thomas, who’s been sitting there like Darth Vader, dormant, waiting for other cooks to join the Supreme Court and waiting and waiting through the decades until — and he saw this, [Brett] Kavanaugh get on and [Amy] Coney Barrett — whatever the fuck her name is,” he continued.

As the show continued, Stern began to go after former President Donald Trump, “This is Trump’s legacy. I hope he’s happy — back alley abortions.” “He’s deranged,” Stern declared. “These justices are deranged. Clarence Thomas is talking — I don’t even know what he’s talking about. He’s going to undo gay rights. You know, gay marriage.” “I hope they roll it all the way back to slavery. And then they slap him on a plantation,” Quivers said in reference to Thomas.

Well, he'd have to be better than Trump, that's for sure. Stern is at least intelligent. hlthe2b Jun 2022 #2

Nor can he pack the Supreme Court unless he has some sort of plan to insure about six sudden openings. And a Senate that will actually confirm his nominees.

Stern ought to learn a whole lot more about what a President actually can and cannot do before he runs. He's a prime example of why, as bad as politicians are, they are far better at politics and making laws and the like than someone who has never done anything like that before and just think he can be President with zero experience.
