[See NewsBusters for more.] Despite all the talk on MSNBC about norms and institutions, Brian Williams used Friday's edition of The 11th Hour to criticize Democrats for talking touch, but not having the "guts" to "pack or alter" the Supreme Court in light on the Court hearing oral arguments on Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization earlier in the week.

After playing a clip of Justice Sotomayor's "stench" comments, Williams hyped the remark as a "dramatic point" that has led to "renewed rumblings that Democrats might consider making changes to the Supreme Court. The Washington Post reporting it this way, 'This week's Supreme Court argument on abortion has accelerated an urgency among Senate Democrats to fundamentally alter how the court operates fueled in part by lingering anger over Republican confirmation maneuvers that have led to three new conservative justices in the past four years.'"
