Biden’s ‘Reform’ Proposals Would Ruin the Supreme Court

Far from defending democracy, the president’s plan rejects the very idea of limited government.

Ever since President Joe Biden decided to cap off his term in office with a full-scale political attack on the U.S. Supreme Court and its justices about two months ago, the plan has rightfully come under scrutiny, and not only from those you would expect. While two justices recently indicated support for an enforceable code of ethics, another provided a two-word warning: “Be careful.”

Careful is precisely what everyone should be when considering Biden’s problematic proposal. Ever since the Court overturned Roe v. Wade — the 1973 abortion decision that usurped the legislative branches and that even Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said was poorly reasoned — the Left has mounted a relentless assault on the Court. That pummeling has now come full circle, just in time for the 2024 election, so it’s reasonable for Americans to be especially concerned.
