Save the Supreme Court from Biden’s “Reforms”
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)
July 29, 2024
…On July 16, the Washington Post reported that Biden planea to endorse restructuring the Court through term limits and a so-called ethics code. Biden confirmed these rumors on July 29, when he announced his intention to “reform the Supreme Court”….
As these changes would force a major break from national precedent, one would hope that Biden plans to endorse them for a good reason…. Instead, his motives are stirred by party politics. Don’t take my word for it; take the word of Laurence Tribe, the left-wing law professor whose advice Biden sought when crafting his upcoming proposal[:] “There is a compelling need for supreme court reform”…because the current Court is an “imperial judiciary” that favors Donald Trump’s “Maga agenda”….
Never mind the unanimity of the decision to keep Trump on the Colorado ballot. Never mind the lopsided decision preserving access to chemical abortion pills. Never mind any of that; because Trump’s appointees helped overturn Roe vs. Wade and (only partially) concurred with a ruling on presidential immunity, the liberal establishment is revving to rewrite the rules.
Of course, this isn’t the first time high-ranking Democrats have proposed reshaping the Court because they didn’t like the composition of the Justices. In early 2019, then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris expressed what Politico described as “surprising openness” to the body’s expansion….
In the wake of Harris’ comments, I introduced a constitutional amendment to limit the Supreme Court to nine Justices…. I said Congress had a duty to “prevent the delegitimizing of the Supreme Court”…. And I was not alone…. “No, I’m not prepared to go on and try to pack the court, because we’ll live to rue that day,” [Biden] told a local Iowa outlet….
A lot has changed since 2019. But the imperative to preserve the Supreme Court’s integrity, and the integrity of the republic for which it stands, has not changed one bit. Today, I call on the president…to honor his own call for unity, remember his past words, and secure his legacy by protecting one of our most vital institutions.
