Joe Biden called for major reforms to the United States Supreme Court in a speech today.
Lots of people are wondering why Biden is even trying to do this. He is the lamest of lame duck presidents in decades and has no political capital left to trade on. It’s likely that this is an effort by Democrats to squeeze one last major policy initiative out of Biden’s now failed presidency.
Legal experts are already weighing in and saying that Biden’s proposals are going nowhere.
The Washington Examiner reports:
President Joe Biden’s ambitious three-pronged proposal to reform the Supreme Court is not likely to survive past its 15 minutes of fame, legal experts from across the partisan spectrum say.
“It’s all posturing for the election season to try to garner votes amongst the far Left but also to bully the United States Supreme Court into not pursuing its current path of enforcing the Constitution,” California RNC National Committeewoman and lawyer Harmeet K. Dhillon told the Washington Examiner…
Steve Vladeck, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center, questioned in a July 18 Substack blog why Biden was merely highlighting the recent Trump v. United States decision when there are multitudes of other high court decisions Democrats disfavor.
This is not biden’s proposal. Wake up people. Do you really think a man who couldn’t make a PBJ sandwich has the whereabouts to make up this proposal? It has obama/pelosi all over it!!!
