Top Points:
Unconstitutional Court Packing Scheme: Democrats' proposal to pack the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional power grab aimed at shifting the current 6-3 originalist majority to a 6-3 "living Constitution" majority, reversing recent decisions and enabling federal overreach.
Decades of Democratic Attacks: The so-called "crisis of confidence" in the Supreme Court is manufactured by Democrats, who have undermined the institution through manipulated confirmation hearings, baseless ethics scandals, and systematic delegitimization efforts.
Threat to Constitutional Order: Packing the Supreme Court is a dangerous attack on its independence and a threat to our constitutional order, posing a far greater long-term risk to our republic than the events of January 6th.
Full Report:
Democrats' plan to pack the Supreme Court poses a far greater threat to our constitutional order than the events of January 6th. This move, a clear attempt to delegitimize both the Court and the Constitution, reveals their true intentions.
Consider this: Would any Democrat back the President's court-packing scheme if Republicans controlled Congress and the White House? Certainly not. This is a calculated, unconstitutional power grab.
To avoid the negative connotations of "court packing," the Biden administration has floated the idea of 18-year term limits for justices. This strategy aims to shift the current 6-3 originalist majority to a 6-3 "living Constitution" majority, reversing recent decisions and enabling federal overreach.
Some might dismiss this as mere election rhetoric, given the slim chances of such reforms passing. But the real danger lies in the left normalizing the notion that the Supreme Court is illegitimate if it doesn't align with their political agenda.
Kamala Harris claims that packing the Supreme Court is necessary due to a "crisis of confidence." Yet this so-called crisis stems from decades of Democratic attacks on the institution. From manipulating confirmation hearings to launching baseless ethics scandals, Democrats have systematically undermined the Court's credibility.
Despite these attacks, confidence in the Supreme Court remains relatively stable. Gallup reports that 30% of Americans have a "Great Deal/Quite a Lot" of confidence in the Court, with another 31% expressing "Some" confidence. In contrast, Congress's confidence rating is a mere 9%.
Justices already adhere to a code of judicial conduct, and there is no evidence of unethical behavior benefiting third parties. The left's smears, particularly against conservative justices like Clarence Thomas, are hypocritical and politically motivated.
Democrats propose an ethics code for the Supreme Court, but their true aim is to enable partisan attacks on justices. The Court, however, is an equal branch of government, not answerable to partisan whims.
President Biden, whose family has enriched itself through questionable means, has a 26% confidence rating. Americans trust the Supreme Court more than many other institutions, including the presidency, media, schools, and unions.
The Democrats' true goal is to legalize abortion on demand and impose their will on the judiciary. Their push to pack the Supreme Court is an attack on its independence and a threat to our constitutional order.
In summary, the Democrats' plan to pack the Supreme Court is a dangerous and unconstitutional attempt to undermine our democracy. Their long-term goals are far more corrosive to our republic than anything that happened on January 6th. Original Story by David Harsanyi, The Federalist
