Biden’s criticism of Supreme Court is more harmful than protecting democracy, it’s threatening it
President Biden, despite his rhetoric about protecting the American system, appears to be working against it.
Reports suggest that Biden will soon announce his support for a comprehensive “reform” agenda for the Supreme Court, advocating for term limits and a new code of ethics.
This aligns with a prolonged, extreme left-wing assault on the judicial branch, which should concern all Americans regardless of political affiliation.
Although Biden may present these measures as a way to depoliticize the court, their proposal actually aims to do the opposite.
For years, the left has benefited from the court’s decisions, leading them to believe this was the court’s intended role.
As a result, the recent shift towards originalism within the Supreme Court has caused resentment among Democrats, as they now have to defend their positions on issues like abortion and face scrutiny over constitutional matters.
This has resulted in a targeted smear campaign against conservative justices, including Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
President Biden’s upcoming proposal is seen as another tactic in this ongoing effort to challenge the current makeup of the court.
Term limits are not a solution to any structural issues with the court, but rather a response to the appointment of originalist justices by former President Trump.
By imposing term limits, justices may feel pressured to act in the short term, potentially compromising the wisdom and experience that longer-serving justices bring to the court.
There is no evidence of corruption among the current justices, yet the push for an ethics code aims to create a false perception of wrongdoing.
Recognizing Biden’s actions as a strategic move to rally his political base, informed Americans understand the true motivations behind his proposed Supreme Court reforms and other legislative efforts.
While Biden portrays Trump as a threat to democracy, his own actions during his presidency have raised concerns among some Americans.
Fortunately, the Supreme Court has served as a safeguard against any potential threats to democracy during Biden’s administration.
