The proposal is a momentous shift for the president, who has long resisted calls to overhaul the Supreme Court. | | | On Monday, July 29, 2024 at 10:20:41 AM EDT, W.

Now we can all regret that outcome.So this is Biden's SCOTUS swan song, and a major shift for him, if not a full mea culpa.Chief Justice Roberts' Rules of Ethical Order are, at best, a spongy set of suggestions rather than enforceable standards of conduct.And Justices Thomas et al. are the Kings of Capitol Hill until Biden's poposed new Constitutional Amendment can curb their enthusiasm for legislating from the bench.Meanwhile, Justice Thomas will stay on the job until he can no longer exercise his tyrannical power, or resign in favor of a much younger MAGA successor that President Trump will nominate, should he return to the Oval Office, thereby confirming the unhinged autocracy of the Court for another quarter century.That threat alone is reason enough to deny Mr. Trump another term.Even if you are a traditional Republican who feels stuck with two unpalatable choices!Marshall Jones_______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net
