I haven't heard anyone speculate on what Joe meant in his televised speech the other night where he used the phrase, "reform the Supreme Court." It seemed significant to me at the time, but I'm not hearing any commentators discuss this.
Did he mean "stack the Supreme Court"? ...or to reel it in and make it compliant with Liberal values? At the time I thought, "You jackass, we have separation of powers, and the Judicial Branch is a separate power, not to be fiddled with by the other two branches.
Any speculation about this, anons?
He mumbled multiple things. Packing the court, pushing through "ethics reform", and term limits for justices.
This is all for show. He doesn't have the right to do any of those things, any more than Roberts could add more senators in red states. Any voters he actually had are stupid enough to believe he can do it.
Biden, Roberts, and Johnson all head their respective branches of government. They can't do things like that to the other branches because we (theoretically) still have checks and balances. Having said that, the closest any of the 3 could get to changing something in the other branches (and actually making it stick) is Roberts, because SCOTUS can find unconstitutional any laws that CONgress tries to pass.
The Legislative branch could try passing a law, the Executive branch could sign it and make it a law, but the Judicial branch can smack them both down based on the constitutionality (or the lack thereof).
To be fair - while people are stupid overall and don't know much about the governmental process, the left has been forcing that by stopping any civics education. They want you ignorant, just for stuff like this.
Well, thank God I received my public education well BEFORE the institution was lost and woke.
Exactly. I dodged a bullet myself. Not only did I make it before woke was even thought of, but I grew up in Maryland. I made it before they went communist. I haven't been back there since the day I joined the Air Force at 17 years old (and I'm gen-X).
I'm holding out hope that gen-Z has seen enough by now that as they start to grow up and have families they can "reset" the cycle and get back to the way things are supposed to be. Things like learning civics instead of the alphabet mafia, or relying on merit instead of party, ethnicity, sex, or race. And of course learning how to think, not what is acceptable to think.
I wish you well in mentoring your own generation. I have my hands full trying to wake up my older contemporaries, many of whom learned to vote Democrat back when they thought that was the party of the working man. Ha! The Dems are now only the party of the elite, and it's the GOP that has won the admiration of the working class.
