BIDEN’S COURT-WHACKING PLAN

BIDEN’S COURT-WHACKING PLAN

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/07/bidens-court-whacking-plan.php

Quote
... President Biden’s big stick-it-to the Court plan ... comprises three disparate elements:

1. No Immunity for Crimes a Former President Committed in Office: This would require a constitutional amendment to overrule Trump v. United States.

2. Term Limits for Supreme Court Justices: This would require a constitutional amendment to alter Article III, Section One of the Constitution, ...

3. Binding Code of Conduct for the Supreme Court: Here Biden “thinks” this can be effected by statute, ...

The issue wrt point #3 is whether Congress and the President can constitutionally dictate some "Code of Conduct" on the USSC, a "Code" that would necessarily be subject to future partisan-political manipulations.

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Typical political stunt by the Dems.

 "We don't like who is on the court. So, we want to change the rules.
Of course, if it were our people on the court in a pronounced majority, we'd be condemning Republicans who would want to change things."

What's the point of being a liberal if you can't be a hypocrite?

Other than SCOTUS, congress has the power to reshape everything about the federal judiciary. SCOTUS is a completely different ballgame and the ONLY power they have there is impeachment.

Reminder from a Member of Congress: The 1st thing socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro did in #Venezuela was “reform”the country’s Supreme Court to undermine democracy & remain in power!
