Swing State Supreme Court Justice Leaves Democrat Party – “Acquiescence To Jew-Hatred”

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht announced on Monday that he was changing his party affiliation from Democrat to Independent.

According to PoliticsPA, Wecht stated that his “jurisprudence and adjudication have always been independent, and they always will be. Now, my voting registration reflects that independence as well.”

Wecht was retained last November to serve another 10-year term.

In his statement, Wecht cited “Jew-hatred” within the Democratic Party as the motivating factor to change his affiliation.

“In 1998, my wife and I were married at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Congregation, on whose Board of Trustees I served. Twenty years later, in the very same sanctuary where our wedding occurred, the worst massacre of Jews in American history was perpetrated. That terror came from the right. Jew-hatred has always festered on the fringe of that sector,” Wecht said, according to PoliticsPA.

He said “that same hatred has grown on the left.”

“Increasingly, it has moved from the fringe to the mainstream,” Wecht
