WATCH: White House Declines to Defend Justice Stephen Breyer from Left-wing Calls to Resign

Joel B. Pollak 9 Apr 2021

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki declined to defend U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer on Friday from attacks by left-wing groups that say he should resign because he is opposed to packing the Court with additional justices.

The question arose in the wake of Biden’s executive order announcing a commission to study the issue of court-packing.

As Breitbart News reported earlier this week, Breyer opposes the idea:

Quote
    Justice Stephen Breyer, widely known as one of the three liberal justices on the Supreme Court, warned against left-wing calls to pack America’s highest court with additional justices in order to weaken the conservative majority, explaining during a Tuesday Harvard Law School address that it would “diminish” confidence among the American people.

    Breyer delivered the remarks on Tuesday in an address in which he said he aimed to “make those whose initial instincts may favor important structural or other similar institutional changes, such as forms of ‘court-packing,’ think long and hard before embodying those changes in law.”

    The implications, the 82-year-old justice said, would be great and undermine the American people’s confidence in the courts and “in the rule of law itself.”

    “If the public sees judges as ‘politicians in robes,’ its confidence in the courts, and in the rule of law itself, can only diminish, diminishing the court’s power, including its power to act as a ‘check’ on the other branches,” Breyer explained.

So the Rodents who plan on stealing every election from now until eternity are worried that they might lose the next election...or maybe just the Senate in 2022?

I wonder if Brayer sleeps with an aggressive pillow, like Scalia did?   When judges get in the way of Obama's goals, their pillows get active, I hear.
The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.
