In the same Washington Post op-ed in which President Joe Biden calls the Supreme Court "Not normal" and responsible for "Dangerous and extreme decisions," he admits, "I have overseen more Supreme Court nominations as senator, vice president and president than anyone living today." Hmmm. If one buys into the premise of a Supreme Court so structurally damaged as to require outside repair, then one must assign a great deal of responsibility to Joe Biden.
Second, the president, whose family raked in millions from China, Ukraine, and points beyond, insists that justices must "Refrain from public political activity and recuse themselves from cases in which they or their spouses have financial or other conflicts of interest." Finally, the president wants to reverse the court's Trump v. United States ruling that provides presidents broad immunity for acts undertaken while in office.
The entire edifice of modern progressive jurisprudence - Roe v. Wade, Kelo v. New London, Engel v. Vitale, Furman v. Georgia, and beyond - relies on overturning "Settled legal precedent." So, not the principle but the particular here outrages the Left, which desperately wants a partial court.
Since Antonin Scalia ascended to the high court, Biden voted just one Republican nominee to the Supreme Court.
The alpha, if not omega, explaining his past stonewalling of GOP nominees and present scheme for the court is abortion.
The president says he wants to depoliticize the courts as he aggressively puts the Supreme Court on the ballot this November.
Franklin Roosevelt more ambitiously sought to add seats to the court to ensure a majority to his liking.
