President Biden is getting ready to make a pitch that would make even the Founding Fathers raise their eyebrows. In a bold move that seems refreshingly aligned with the progressive agenda, he is proposing a radical overhaul of the Supreme Court—because, apparently, the vetting process for justices felt a bit too traditional. This upcoming performance at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library and Museum isn’t just a casual speech; it’s a full-frontal attack on the Constitution, fashioned after the whims of today’s cancel culture and political correctness.
The president is opting for three ‘reforms’ that he claims are essential for restoring trust in American democracy. Still, really, it feels more like an attempt to reshape the highest court to suit the current Democratic narrative. First up is the grand idea of a constitutional amendment to end presidential immunity. Biden suggests that no president should be above the law—because a precedent that emphasizes accountability is obviously a good thing when it’s aimed at previous administrations who might have step-danced in the grey areas of legality. But suggests holding presidential feet to the fire like this raises eyebrows about who will actually face the consequences of what political leaders define as “crimes.”
You can’t control the supreme court old Joe. Stop trying to change it to get rulings you want! Go to bed!
Biden Unveils Radical Plan to Reform the Supreme Court https://t.co/pGtEt5raPi— NYNanc🇺🇸 (@ny32007) July 29, 2024
Next on the list is something that sounds suspicious, like the term limits Democrats have been clamoring about since time immemorial. Biden argues that the Supreme Court should no longer be a lifetime gig as if the Founders were handing out jobs for life-like candy at a parade. Proposing 18-year term limits so a president could appoint a new justice every two years would ensure that conservative justices don’t get too comfortable making rulings that the left would rather ignore. After all, who wants the rules to remain the same when the political tides are shifting?
Finally, Biden advocates for a code of ethics for justice. The push here seems to be about enforcing a standard that some have called common sense—requiring justices to disclose gifts and recuse themselves from cases where they might have a conflict of interest. This sounds reasonable until one realizes that it could open a Pandora’s box of interpretative chaos, making it more about political maneuvering and less about actual justice. Who’s to say what counts as a conflict? Suddenly, it feels like justices will be placed under a microscope, not for their legal prowess but for who they know and what they’ve received from whom.
What this all really points to is a growing sense of desperation among Democrats to regain control over a Supreme Court that has tilted against their agendas in recent years. Rather than addressing genuine issues in the political arena, Biden has opted for the good old-fashioned strategy of reshaping the rules, akin to changing game pieces in Monopoly when the board isn’t going your way. And with Kamala Harris backing these changes, it looks like the left is ready to make some serious waves, all under the guise of “restoring trust.”
In short, Biden’s Supreme Court makeover is set to rival the worst reality TV show plots with its mix of chaos, power grabs, and questionable ethics. Conservatives might look on in disbelief as common sense gets tossed out the window, but this is the age of radical reform, and apparently, anything goes as long as it fits a certain narrative.
