Biden’s Scheme to Hamstring the Supreme Court Is All About Saving His 2024 Race
Biden’s Scheme to Hamstring the Supreme Court Is All About Saving His 2024 Race

Biden’s presidency has been a circus of bad decisions, flip-flops, and mind-boggling incompetence. Now, as his administration flounders like a fish out of water, he’s setting his sights on something utterly desperate: revamping the Supreme Court.

His latest antics? Term limits for justices and an ethics code, but let’s not kid ourselves – this is just a smokescreen for his dwindling support and disastrous poll numbers.

Trivia Question: What year did the United States adopt the Constitution? Answer at the end of the article.

Biden’s approval ratings are plummeting faster than a lead balloon, and his team knows it. With the 2024 election on the horizon, many Democrats are starting to see the writing on the wall.

But instead of gracefully bowing out, Biden is doubling down, trying to placate the radical left with promises of Supreme Court reform. Talk about rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic!

From The Washington Post:
President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

He is also weighing whether to call for a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad immunity for presidents and other constitutional officeholders, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

Biden’s grand scheme includes term limits and ethics codes, but it’s clear this move is more about appeasing his dwindling base than any genuine concern for judicial integrity.

Why Now, Joe?

Why is Biden suddenly so interested in Supreme Court reform? It’s simple: he’s trying to win back favor with the progressive wing of his party.

The left has been clamoring for court reform ever since Trump appointed three justices, solidifying a conservative majority. But let’s not forget, Biden was never this keen on Supreme Court changes until his presidency started going down the drain.

Desperate Moves to Save a Sinking Ship

From The Hill:
This week, President Joe Biden finally named a price. As a growing number of panicked Democrats moved to force him off the ticket before the convention, Biden has offered something that the far left has demanded for years: limiting the Supreme Court.

According to the Washington Post, the president held a Zoom call with the left-wing Congressional Progressive Caucus, chaired by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D.-Wash.) and co-chaired by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). He thrilled them by agreeing to ‘come out with a major initiative on limiting the court.’ He added that he was looking to them for support because ‘I need some help.’

Biden’s plea for help to the Congressional Progressive Caucus reeks of desperation. He’s offering Supreme Court reform as a carrot to the far left, hoping Democrats will back off on their calls for him to step down.

Biden’s proposed changes to the Supreme Court are nothing more than a Hail Mary pass. He’s hoping to rally the left by promising reforms they’ve been screaming for, but it’s unlikely to work. The radical left wants more than just promises; they want results. And Biden has proven time and again that he can’t deliver.

Biden’s Hypocrisy Knows No Bounds

What’s most laughable about Biden’s Supreme Court reform proposal is the hypocrisy. He wants term limits for justices, but many of his critics argue that he’s too old to serve another term himself. This blatant double standard is just another example of Biden’s out-of-touch leadership.

Biden’s sudden interest in Supreme Court reform isn’t about justice or ethics. It’s about saving his political hide. He’s trying to distract from his administration’s failures by attacking a branch of government that’s been a thorn in his side. But this transparent ploy is unlikely to fool anyone, especially not the American people who are fed up with his incompetence.

Biden’s antics are a last-ditch effort to salvage what’s left of his crumbling presidency. Promising Supreme Court reform is a desperate move to win back favor with the left, but it’s unlikely to work.

The American people see through his charade, and come 2024, they’ll remember who stood for their values and who tried to pull the wool over their eyes. Trump’s policies put America first, and it’s high time we get back to that.

Key Takeaways:

  • Biden is planning major changes to the Supreme Court to placate the left.
  • His proposals include term limits and an ethics code for justices.
  • This desperate move is a transparent attempt to salvage his failing presidency.
