How Court Packing Would End Americans’ Constitutionally Secured Rights
Raphael Warnock owes Georgians an answer to the question of court packing, just as Joe Biden still owes one to all of America.

One of the many questions Raphael Warnock refused to answer in Sunday’s Georgia Senate debate was whether he would vote to pack the Supreme Court with left-leaning judges. Three times, Warnock refused to commit to either side of the issue, much as Joe Biden did throughout his presidential campaign. With the Senate in the balance, this issue is one of the most important of the campaign, and the voters deserve answers.
It’s important not just because of the immediate impact a handful of leftist judges would have on the Supreme Court, but because it negates the entire purpose of an independent judiciary. Furthermore, while the idea of court-packing destroys the separation of powers that has long worked to preserve American liberty, the exact kind of judges Democrats would appoint to pack the court are even worse.
In creating a new majority of “living constitutionalist†progressive judges, the Democrats reject the very idea of a written constitution. The result would be unrestricted power for any party with a slight temporary majority. In such a situation, no natural right would be safe.
