Democrats just revealed their true, sick political nature with their cynical push to remake the Supreme Court.
Indeed, they showed just how far they’re willing to go to take down Donald Trump and win an election.
And that they are the real threat to democracy and America’s political system.
The plan, rolled out by President Biden and Veep Kamala Harris, would impose 18-year term limits on justices, essentially, a plan to pack the court with liberals.
They’d subject justices to a code of conduct you can bet will be used similarly against justices they dislike.
Plus, they want more limits on presidential immunity after the Supreme Court reminded them that, under the Constitution, presidents cannot be charged with crimes for official actions they take while in office.
That could help promote their strategy of using lawfare against political foes.
Make no mistake: This would be a radical upturning of an institution that has served the nation well for decades.
Dems aim to undermine the court’s legitimacy and overturn its decisions — all to frame Trump and win an election.
Their sock puppets in the media laid the groundwork for a code of conduct with their perverted attack on the conservative justices — Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, in particular.
But it’s all theater. It’s part of the Dems’ fantasyland claim that “democracy is at stake” and the end of America as we know it is nigh.
How can we know? Because Biden himself once opposed court-packing.
Because the idea for term limits has come up only now, with conservatives holding a majority of the court’s nine seats.
Indeed, Dems were quite happy with lifetime appointments when left-leaning justices, like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, were in the majority.
Also because there’s no actual problem here this plan aims to fix (other than Dems not getting their way on key issues before the court).
Rather, the nation’s high court is functioning not only as it was meant to function — but in precisely the way you’d want it to: i.e., not as an extension of the political system, but as an independent branch of government that puts a check on other branches.
Under the Biden-Harris, the court would no longer be an apolitical arbiter that judges issues — like the constitutionality of laws, say, and the limits of congressional and executive-branch power — based on the merits.
But here’s the kicker: Dems know none of this is going to happen.
And that doesn’t matter: They’ll just blame those evil Republicans for blocking “reform.”
Let’s face it: The idea of subverting an independent body to the will of politicians is precisely what voters should be most worried about.
It would destroy a political system that has long served America well.
Democrats may be right that “democracy” is at risk this year — from them.
