**Overhaul Madness: Biden’s Supreme Court Proposal Threatens Judiciary Independence**
In a move that many see as a direct assault on the independence of the judiciary, President Joe Biden has unveiled a controversial proposal aimed at drastically reforming the U.S. Supreme Court.
This initiative, which includes term limits for justices and a binding code of conduct, has sparked widespread criticism from Republicans and legal experts alike, who argue it is an attempt by the left to dominate the judicial branch of government.
Kelly Shackleford, President of First Liberty, alongside former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, voiced strong opposition to Biden's plan, labeling it a dangerous subversion of the Constitution.
“They are trying to take control of the Supreme Court because they are frustrated with decisions that don't align with their radical agenda,” they asserted in a recent op-ed.
President Biden referenced the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade as a key example of “extreme” judicial rulings that necessitate reform.
However, critics argue that reforming the court based on dissatisfaction with its decisions undermines the principles of judicial independence and respect for the rule of law.
House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed these concerns, stating that the proposed changes would erode public trust in the judiciary.
“Biden’s radical overhaul would tilt the balance of power and undermine the system that has served our nation since its founding,” he noted, emphasizing that these proposals stand little chance of passage in the Republican-controlled House.
Adding to the concern, Biden has introduced what he terms the “No One Is Above the Law Amendment,” which seeks to remove legal immunity for former presidents for actions taken while in office.
Legal experts warn that such a measure could open the floodgates for politically motivated prosecutions against officials, setting a dangerous precedent for future administrations.
“The idea that a president could be criminally charged for making policy decisions is not only nonsensical but detrimental to the fabric of our democracy,” said Professor Brad Jacob from Regent University.
As Biden’s proposals face stern opposition from conservative leaders and legal scholars, it becomes clear that the battle over judicial reform is far from over.
Rather than restoring public faith in the judiciary, these measures appear designed to further entrench partisan politics within the highest court, a move conservatives view as a blatant attempt to manipulate the system for political gain.
The American public deserves a judiciary that remains above the fray of political machinations—not one subjected to the whims of a partisan agenda.
