SCOTUS Liberal Decries Biden Scheme To Pack Nation’s Highest Court

Court packing called out…

The scheme by Joe Biden’s handlers to execute a hostile takeover of the judicial branch has run into unexpected opposition by one of the members of the liberals on the nation’s highest court.

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer reacted negatively to Biden’s executive order to create a commission tasked with providing political cover for the administration to pack the court to offset the influence of the three conservative appointments made by former President Donald J. Trump.

Justice Breyer delivered his remarks remotely at Harvard University Law School’s Scalia lecture and advised Americans to think “long and hard” about such a radical move that would undermine “the trust that the court has gradually built.”

“What I’m trying to do is to make those whose instincts may favor important structural change or other similar institutional changes such as forms of court packing to think long and hard before they embody those changes in law,” Breyer said.

He added, “I hope and expect that the court will retain its authority … which was hard won. But that authority, like the rule of law, depends on trust. A trust that the court is guided by legal principle, not politics. Structural alteration motivated by the perception of political influence can only feed that latter perception, further eroding that trust.”

No sooner had the words left his lips, the vicious Twitter mob flew into action, mounting a campaign to effectively cancel the 82-year-old by demanding that he be pushed into retiring.

Rather than stand up against the mob by defending a man who has been a reliable supporter of the liberal agenda, Biden insultingly said that he wouldn’t push Breyer out the door and that he would generously leave it up to the 82-year-old justice to decide when its time to hang up his robe for good.

Adding insult to injury, Biden didn’t even make his remarks personally, instead, he trotted out White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki to do his dirty work.

During Friday’s presser, CBS White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe asked; “The president’s commission on expanding the Supreme Court … what is the president’s view of the calls for Justice Breyer to step down?”

Psaki responded; “He believes that is a decision justice Breyer will make when he decides it’s no longer time to serve on the Supreme Court.”

O’Keefe countered: “But should the groups pushing him to go back off?”

Psaki replied; “I think I can just speak to what the president’s view is of the Supreme Court justice’s ability to make his own decision.”

Not exactly the sort of resounding vote of confidence that such a veteran jurist would normally be entitled to, but Biden and his puppeteers have a very serious agenda and they can’t simply wait to see if Breyer will retire before 2024 to see it through.

Despite a history of being against such court-packing, Biden’s executive order further serves to puncture the myth of the “moderate” that he was foisted off on during the campaign.

According to the official White House announcement:

President Biden will today issue an executive order forming the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States, comprised of a bipartisan group of experts on the Court and the Court reform debate.

The Commission’s purpose is to provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform, including an appraisal of the merits and legality of particular reform proposals. The topics it will examine include the genesis of the reform debate; the Court’s role in the Constitutional system; the length of service and turnover of justices on the Court; the membership and size of the Court; and the Court’s case selection, rules, and practices.

That “bipartisan group of experts” has will be hand-picked to deliver exactly the result that is desired and the SCOTUS will become another institution that will be subsumed by Democratic party politics.
