President Biden addressed the nation on Wednesday following his announcement to exit the 2024 presidential race. In his speech, Biden said that pushing for Supreme Court “reforms” will be a priority during his final six months in office.

“I’m going to call for Supreme Court reform, because this is critical to our democracy,” Biden said.

Last week, reports surfaced that Biden plans to propose sweeping and radical changes to the Supreme Court. Those include introducing legislation to end life tenure for justices, which would purge the longest-serving members of the Court, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. The President is also expected to push for an enforceable “code of ethics.”

Watch below. First Liberty President & CEO Kelly Shackelford reacts to the President’s dropout speech and explains why Biden’s plan would destroy the independence of the judiciary and threaten the civil liberties of all Americans:

Americans Reject the Supreme Court Coup

Due to recent decisions that haven’t gone his way, Biden is now joining the radical Left to attack the Supreme Court. His new plan will be the latest desperate attack on the Court by politicians and some of the most radical groups in the country. Together, they are determined to grab power by any means necessary.

Make no mistake. Changing the courts for partisan reasons is a horrible idea. Simply put, this plan is one of the most dangerous threats to our country.

Although some politicians and groups want to destroy our judicial system, most Americans do not want to turn our nation into a banana republic. They respect the courts and the judicial system. They want to uphold the rule of law.

Polling has revealed that 72% of Americans believe that the politicization of the Supreme Court threatens judicial independence. 69% do not want Congress taking over and setting rules for judicial ethics. 68% also oppose court-packing or expanding the size of the Court.

500,000+ Americans have already signed the Declaration of Judicial Independence saying: NO to court packing, NO to suspect judicial reforms, NO to the Supreme Court Coup.
