We have seen that the political left fought hard to prevent the seating of conservative justices on the Supreme Court. I suspect that we are now going to see the political left attempt to remove the conservative justices that now sit on the Supreme Court. They have already begun the process. President Joe Biden will be able to fill any vacancies that arise, and Kamala Harris will provide the necessary 51st vote (assuming all the Democrats are able to attend the Senate vote).
On Monday, The Daily Wire outlined the plan for the liberal takeover of the Court.
The article reports:
First, they push the idea that the current justices are deciding cases politically, rather than impartially. In other words, the justices are twisting and shaping the Constitution’s meaning to reach results that advance certain political interests.
We are already hearing this talking point in the mainstream media.
The article continues:
Second, the Left attacks Supreme Court decisions, and individual justices, that do not reliably advance liberal political interests, as partisan, corrupt, or unethical.
We have recently seen that with Justice Thomas. The next target is Justice Neil Gorsuch.
The article notes the third part of the plan, which is unconstitutional:
Having created this politically driven, faux ethics controversy, Democrats have introduced legislation to require the Supreme Court to produce a formal ethics code. That much might not sound serious, but because the Constitution, not Congress, created the Supreme Court, Congress does not have such authority.
All nine current justices signed a lengthy Statement on Ethics Principles and Practices explaining how they approach ethical questions, including in ways that necessarily differ from lower court judges.
The more serious problem, however, is that these bills would then allow anyone to file a complaint that a Supreme Court justice has allegedly violated some provisions of such a code.
Stay tuned. Unless the Republicans develop a plan to stop this, we are going to lose the checks and balances in our government that protect our God-given freedoms.
