New Biden Panel Could Undermine Supreme Court's Conservative Majority

[IsailedawayfromFR]

President Joe Biden on Friday named a panel to study reforms to the U.S. Supreme Court, such as adding justices or instituting term limits, fulfilling a campaign vow as progressives push to add more liberals to the conservative-leaning court.

Liberal activists have been urging an expansion of the Supreme Court to offset the 6-3 conservative majority created by three appointments by former President Donald Trump. The court's tilt to the right has opened the possibility it could overturn the constitutional right to abortion and roll back gay rights, though so far the justices have moved slowly on those issues.

In a statement, the White House said Biden will sign an executive order to form the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court. Biden named a bipartisan group of law professors, former judges and others familiar with the legal system and asked them to issue a report within 180 days of first meeting.

There is absolutely no rationale in our government for Executive to do this instead of Congress

We're not even certain there is a "Conservative Majority", and the Rodents want to ruin it.

The big question is will the 70% of the nation who are not batshit crazy leftists continue to stand by quietly while the nutbars carry out their coup.

YES, we are certain we DO NOT have a conservative court.  Roberts is NOT a conservative.  He has been on the wrong side of almost everything important since he went on the court.

He had the power to kill Obamacare, and he defended it.  He could have heard the cases about the corrupt election, but he ordered everyone to avoid it.

Even 2 of 3 appointed judges by Trump were on the wrong side of the overt corruption with the last election.

The "findings" of this panel are a foregone conclusion before it even convenes...

Ever since Roberts illegally re-wrote MessiahCare to claim it was Constitutional because the items identified as "fines" were "taxes", thus making MessiahCare unconstitutionally in violation of the Originations Clause, I haven't counted Roberts as anything but pure Rodent.

And I'm still wondering about the judges and judgette Trump appointed.
