Staff Reports
President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have been making strong statements against the Supreme Court, accusing it of being “extreme” and “out of control.” However, their attempts to challenge and influence the Court are concerning, as they suggest a desire to control the Court’s decisions like monarchs.
The Constitution empowers the Supreme Court and lower courts to interpret laws and declare them unconstitutional if they violate the Constitution. Despite this, Democrats have criticized the Court’s decisions, such as leaving the issue of abortion to be decided by elected officials and prohibiting racial discrimination in college admissions.

Recently, Democrats have been particularly upset by the Court’s ruling that presidents and former presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for their official actions. This decision aligns with past Supreme Court rulings establishing immunity for judges and legislative members for their official acts.
President Biden’s criticism of the Court’s decision could backfire on him, especially considering the wealth his family has gained through government service. Calling for constitutional amendments to reverse the decision may have unintended consequences for future presidents facing legal challenges for their official actions.
Senator Schumer’s introduction of the “No King’s Act” aims to hold all individuals, including presidents, accountable under the law. However, the act’s attempt to limit the Supreme Court’s ability to declare provisions unconstitutional raises concerns about its constitutionality and potential to undermine the balance of power.
Overall, the actions taken by Democrats against the Supreme Court highlight a growing tension between the branches of government. It is essential to respect the Constitution’s separation of powers to ensure the integrity of our democratic system.
