Joe Biden: ‘The Constitution Is Always Evolving Slightly’Charlie Spiering 1 Feb 2022
President Joe Biden met with Senate Judiciary leaders on Tuesday, reminding them that the United States Constitution was “always evolving” in his public remarks at the meeting.
“You know there’s always a renewed national debate every time we nominate, any president nominates a justice, because the Constitution is always evolving slightly,” Biden said, referring to his upcoming choice of a nominee to replace the retiring Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court.
Biden met with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and spoke briefly to reporters as the meeting began.
“I’m serious when I say it, that I want the advice from the Senate as well as the consent on who the nominee should be,” he said.
Biden spoke on the phone with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell about the Supreme Court on Tuesday, according to a spokesman for the senator from Kentucky.
The president acknowledged there were different judicial schools of thought on the issue.
“This is not a static issue, it flows back and forth,” he said.
The president ignored all questions from reporters after his finished his remarks, grinning as the press was escorted from the room.
