The growing threat behind Biden’s Supreme Court proposal | Fox News

Following his address last week to the nation explaining why he is dropping out of the race, President Joe Biden doubled down on his proposal to “reform” the Supreme Court of the United States.

Americans need to understand that the campaign to radically change the Court is coming.  While current proposals like term limits for the longest-serving justices and an imposed code of ethics threaten the Constitution and the separation of powers, the far left is demanding that Court be packed with additional liberal justices.  Whoever the Democrat nominee for President is, if they win, that is exactly what will happen, and it only takes a majority vote and the signature of the President.

In fact, presumptive nominee VP Kamala Harris, who received Biden s wholehearted endorsement, has already expressed support, stating she was “absolutely open” to court packing.

Transforming the Supreme Court into another partisan body would destroy the independence of the judiciary and threaten the civil liberties of all Americans.  Concerning such an idea, then-Senator Biden once said that changing the structure of the Court was “a bonehead idea” that would “put in question & the independence of the & Supreme Court.”  He was right.  The last thing we need in this country right now is a Supreme Court coup that would threaten our democratic republic.

Instead of “Save Our Democracy” the Democrats’ motto ought to be “Destroy Our Republic.” They’re not saving anything but they definitely want to destroy the Republic, such as it is, and it is, for all its many faults, better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
