With President Joe Biden out of the 2024 presidential race and Vice President Kamala Harris the Democratic Party's nominee, the Supreme Court will play a major role in the November election.
As The Hill noted, former President Donald Trump had the unprecedented chance to appoint three justices, all conservative, which has drastically altered the decisions coming out of the high court.
Biden's last move, reportedly, will be to push for radical, unconstitutional Supreme Court "reform," and Harris has embraced the idea.
The president's promise to reform the high court came in the wake of the decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, and the most recent immunity ruling that heavily favored Trump in his legal battles.
Given that Trump's influence on the high court led to the striking down of the landmark abortion ruling, and given that Harris is incorporating the abortion issue heavily into her campaign, many believe the Supreme Court will play a role in the upcoming election.
Biden recently proposed several "reforms" that would drastically change the Supreme Court forever.
The Hill noted the proposed changes:
Biden’s three-prong proposal would impose 18-year term limits on the nine justices, allowing for the sitting president to appoint a new justice every two years, and establish a binding code of conduct. It also calls for a constitutional amendment to partially overturn the high court’s recent decision on presidential immunity.
The Harris campaign will likely pounce on the perceived ethics controversies surrounding the high court, which are mostly made up from mainstream media sources.
Still, the topic will be a hot one, and Harris and her campaign will likely use it as a cornerstone issue to get Democrat voters fired up and to the polls on Election Day.
"The vast majority of Americans see that something is deeply out of kilter at the Court," said Alex Aronson, executive director of the liberal advocacy group Court Accountability, The Hill noted.
Given the extreme amount of bipartisan support needed to enact even one of Biden's silly high court reform proposals, the chance of it actually happening is razor thin, to be generous.
Political insiders know that's the case, but Harris's campaign also knows how shockingly low IQ her voters are, generally speaking, and will use the issue to hype them up, and ultimately never deliver.
"Harris recognizes that it’s a winning issue," said Dan Urman, a law and politics professor at Northeastern University. That's a polite way of saying that voters won't know the difference.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has already confirmed that the proposed reforms are DOA (dead on arrival) and will not even come close to receiving enough House support to pass them.
