After a year of agitation, the radical Left should take a step back and assess the progress of its campaign to pack the U.S. Supreme Court with partisan ideologues.
It’s gone nowhere. Things are so bad that, ahead of what should have been its final public meeting last Friday, the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States decided for itself that it needs more time to deliberate before issuing its report.
Shortly after taking office, President Joe Biden created a Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States. The commission appeared to be political cover for those on the Left hoping they could reshape the U.S. Constitution to secure the Left’s political gains of 2020.
They have, thus far, failed to convince the American people to change anything, let alone remaking the Supreme Court to suit their ideological purposes.
Although he surely did not intend to do so, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken dealt the coup de grâce to the radical Left’s court packing project this week.
In a speech at a university in Quito, Ecuador, on Wednesday, Blinken outlined the “challenges facing democracies and how we can overcome them.” He described the warning signs of a democracy in peril.
Surprising no one, the presidential commission studying potential U.S. Supreme Court reform measures has issued a draft report that stopped short of any recommendation to turn the nation’s highest court into a partisan rubber stamp.
As the Supreme Court of the United States returns to in-person arguments, the only audience allowed will be on the other side of live-streamed audio. All ears will be tuned to One First Street, NE, as the justices consider several cases impacting our constitutional rights.
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has been making the rounds on his book tour this summer, fielding uncomfortable questions about why he hasn’t quit his job and fending off demands from the Left to “pack the court.”
