Reining in the rogue court is a crucial goal with wide support from Americans across the political spectrum
āBetter late than neverā is a useful maxim in all of life and in politics as well. On Monday,Ā Joe Biden caught the ābetter late than neverā bug when he unveiled a series of proposals toĀ reform the US supreme court.
Those proposals come more than two and a half years after the US presidentās presidential commission on the supreme court issued itsĀ recommendations, and more than 40 years after BidenĀ calledĀ former president Franklin Delano Rooseveltās plan to impose term limits on the court āboneheadedā.
In 2020, during his quest for the White House, Biden again distanced himself from people who were pushing for significant institutional reform at the court.
How times have changed. That was before the courtĀ overruled Roe v Wade, theĀ ethics scandalsĀ of justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas came to light, and before the court gave the president almostĀ blanket immunityĀ from criminal prosecution.
No, no, no. You see, the cons behaving badly is just situation normal and only right and natural.
If the Democrats were to even point their bad behavior out, never mind do anything to counter the actions of the cons, that is āpoliticizingā things.
