    Default Progressive Attack on the Supreme Court

    This has two parts, 1) an Amendment to the Constitution because of a Supreme Court decision, and 2) an Ethics Committee to oversee the Supreme Court.

    Immunity - NY Democrat introduces constitutional amendment reversing Supreme Court immunity decision that former presidents enjoy a presumption of criminal immunity for official acts.

    This is self-explanatory. It's also highly suspect. One could imagine a situation where a democrat might support that immunity if a democrat president's actions were in question.

    Ethics - Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan furthered calls for reform at the High Court on Thursday, suggesting that a committee be created to examine potential ethics violations by justices.

    Example: Calls for ethics reform at the High Court were first sparked by a report by ProPublica, which found that Thomas and Alito did not disclose luxury trips and other gifts he had accepted from Republican megadonors. The New York Times also reported that flags associated with conservative movements, including one related to Trump's "Stop the Steal" cry, were seen outside of residences owned by Alito in the aftermath of the 2020 election.

    They are trying to remove and delegitimize the conservative members of the court. This is another piece of a coordinated effort to hold power. I added that last sentence for you, 2oof.

    Do you have to have ethics to serve on an Ethics committee? If so, they will have a hard time finding enough folks in DC.

    The communist are used to legislation through the Supreme Court. Policies they know cannot be passed through congress is pushed through the court bypassing congress. These are not actual laws so any future court could overturn them the opposite way. They are piss now the court is overturning some of the previous WRONG decisions made and now ruling according to the constitution. The imbalance on the court was fine for 30 years when the liberals held a majority on the court (a big reason some of the decisions lack any logic what so ever). Now it is a problem as most of the decisions go against the liberals and big government.

    More on the attack. This time its term limits and from none other than that maggot, Elizabeth Warren. They won't hear about such a term for themselves, but those damn conservative justices have to be "judiced" by a different standard.

    In a recent interview on CNN's "State of the Union," Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts outlined two potential reforms to the Supreme Court, aligning with President Joe Biden's newly announced focus on judicial restructuring in his final months in office.

    Warren, a prominent progressive voice in the Democratic Party, suggested that term limits for justices and expanding the number of seats on the high court could be implemented without requiring a constitutional amendment.

    "We're working on changes to the Supreme Court," Warren told host Jake Tapper. "It can be term limits; it could be adding the number of justices — things we can do without having to have a constitutional amendment."

    The senator's comments echo President Biden's recent call for Supreme Court reform, which he described as "critical to our democracy" during a recent Oval Office address. In his speech, Biden also explained his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.

    Newsweek contacted Biden and Warren spokespeople via email on Sunday for comment.

    On Sunday, Warren framed the issue as a matter of preserving democratic integrity, expressing concern about the court's recent decisions regarding presidential power and the authority of federal agencies. She argued that the current Supreme Court has overstepped its boundaries, potentially undermining democratic processes and the balance of power between branches of government.

    If it wasn't being pushed by Biden, I would say that it was just folks trying to bolster votes for themselves..
    It's not enough to simply tolerate the 2nd Amendment as an antiquated inconvenience. Caring for the 2nd Amendment means fighting to restore long lost rights.
