James Carville just called the Chief Justice of the United States a "whiny p*ssy baby" on camera.
That wasn't the crazy part.
The crazy part is what Carville demanded next – and every Democrat in Washington is either cheering him on or too scared to say he's wrong.
The Meltdown Democrats Are Celebrating
Carville posted the video through Politicon over the weekend, and it is something to behold.
He called the Supreme Court "not legit."
He told Black Americans they can "forget about f****** equal protection and due process."
He asked whether Justice Samuel Alito cares "one iota about the rule of law."
Then he zeroed in on Roberts – the same Chief Justice who has spent years trying to protect the Court's reputation from exactly this kind of political attack.
"It's Roberts looks like some little whiny p**** baby out there," Carville said. "'You gotta respect, we worked so hard.' Oh bullsh*t."

What set Carville off was redistricting – courts in Louisiana, Virginia, Tennessee, and other states upholding or revising congressional maps in ways Democrats don't like.
Democrats losing court fights over maps they drew isn't a constitutional crisis.
It's Tuesday.
This Has a Name and It Failed Before
What Carville is calling for has a name: court packing.
FDR tried it in 1937 after the Supreme Court kept striking down his New Deal programs.
Roosevelt – at the peak of his political power, fresh off a 46-state landslide reelection – proposed adding up to six justices to the nine-member Court.
His own party killed it.
Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, led by Montana Democrat Burton Wheeler, voted it down because they understood something Carville apparently doesn't: once you blow up the Court's structure for short-term political gain, you can never put it back together.
The scheme was so toxic that it handed Republicans a political weapon they used for a generation.

Carville is now demanding the same thing – adding four justices, which would give Democrats a 7-6 majority – because his side keeps losing redistricting fights in states Republicans control.
The logic is breathtaking: we lost, so the institution is corrupt, so we should seize it.
What This Is Really About
Roberts made a simple, reasonable point recently.
He said the public wrongly views justices as "political actors" who "make policy decisions" rather than applying what the law actually says.
That's not a controversial observation.
It's an accurate one.
Carville's response – calling Roberts a "whiny baby" for making it – tells you everything about where the Socialist Democrat Party is right now.
They don't want an independent judiciary.
They want a judiciary that rules the way they want, and when it doesn't, they call it illegitimate and demand to pack it with loyalists.
Look, conservatives have had their own frustrations with Roberts – the Obamacare ruling, the DACA punt, the moments he sided with the left when it counted most.
Those frustrations are legitimate.

But there's a canyon between "that justice disappointed me" and "the entire institution is corrupt and we need to seize it."
Carville just leaped across that canyon without blinking.
This is the same party that spent four years screaming about threats to democracy.
They meant threats to their power.
Carville has been in Socialist Democrat politics for 35 years, and he isn't some fringe figure.
He is a CNN contributor, a party elder, a man whose advice is sought by Democrat strategists across the country.
When he calls the Chief Justice a "whiny p*ssy baby" and demands court packing on camera, he's not going rogue.
He's saying what they all believe – he's just the only one saying it out loud.
