Last October, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse proposed a bill that would transform the United States Supreme Court, and according to him, the Harris campaign has expressed their approval, asserting that it was aligned with “what they're talking about.”
The bill is the most radical of its kind, calling not just for term limits or court packing, but to pack the court and create a power to remove conservative justices like Clarence Thomas against their will and replace them with justices that are ideologically advantageous to the Democrats.
In addition to expanding the Court and giving presidents the power to appoint new justices every other year, only recently appointed judges would be permitted to participate in high profile cases. After 18 years, jurists would no longer be allowed to participate in high profile cases, and only be eligible to hear “original jurisdiction cases” with limited consequences, limited to issues like disputes between states.
Breitbart News reports:
This new proposal is not simply a court packing or term limit plan, but a pack and replace plan, adding liberal Justices and immediately removing conservative Justices, starting with Justice Clarence Thomas. Democrats do not believe in an independent judiciary and want to rig the Court to control its decisions.
According to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse – the single most malignant individual attacking the independence of the Supreme Court – Harris is in agreement with his proposed bill (S. 3096), which would require the president to appoint new Justices in their first and third year in each term, for a total of up to eighteen Justices, and allow only the nine most recently appointed Justices to participate in 99.9 percent of the cases that come before the Court. President Joe Biden's proposal for 18 year term limits on Justices also aligns with this dangerous plan.
This bill is designed to take out the constitutionalist Justices who have stood up to the left's assault on the rule of law. It is a plain attempt to inject partisan politics in what is supposed to be the apolitical branch of our government. Democrats had no problems with lifetime appointments or judicial ethics until President Trump appointed three conservatives to the Court and it was no longer a rubber stamp for left wing policies.
If Democrats got their way and packed the court, our country would soon become unrecognizable. A newly constituted Court beholden to the left would allow the federal government to silence disfavored speech, restrict our religious liberties and our right to bear arms, seize wealth and property (such as taxing unrealized gains), allow unelected bureaucrats to regulate more aspects of our personal lives and our businesses, undermine meritocracy and permit rampant race-based remedies, permanently keep our borders open to unlimited illegal immigration, and allow violent criminals to run free.
At the Democratic National Convention, Senator Whitehouse was adamant that if Democrats won a majority in November, they'd ram through some version of the bill, in addition to other controversial and unconstitutional legislation.
If Trump wins and republicans take the senate then ask WhiteHouse if he still wants to implement “their” plan. Nine more conservative justices would stop the democrat lawfare and Make America Great Again.
This is but one reason Kamala Harris should hold no government office. She is an anti-American communist!
FDR tried & failed then
