Our country was set up with checks and balances. We have Congress, The Senate, The President, and The SCOTUS. So bills have to pass through quite a few hands before they can become laws and the laws can still be contested by SCOTUS. But that’s what makes our country great, it helps prevent bad laws from being passed. But Sen Warren wants to hurt that balance. Warren is upset that the SCOTUS has a conservative lean right now, so she is demanding the court be packed.
“In the essay, Warren noted that a majority of justices on the Court “signaled their willingness to gut one of the court’s most important decisions over the past century, threatening to eliminate Roe v. Wade and a person’s right to choose.”
She argued it is not the first time this “extremist court has threatened, or outright dismantled, fundamental rights in this country,” claiming that the Court’s conservative majority has issued a series of decisions that veer from “both basic principles of law and widely held public opinion.”
“With each move, the court shows why it’s important to restore America’s faith in an independent judiciary committed to the rule of law,” Warren wrote. “To do that, I believe it’s time for Congress to yet again use its constitutional authority to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court. I don’t come to this conclusion lightly or because I disagree with a particular decision; I come to this conclusion because I believe the current court threatens the democratic foundations of our nation.”
Warren later went “on to accuse Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of having “hijacked” the Supreme Court.”
The court goes through cycles where it leans more left or right, Warren is just upset that it doesn’t have a liberal lean now, so she wants to change it, making it so the Dems have the House, Senate, WH, and SCOTUS. So absolute power…
