THE INCEPTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED SUPREME COURT, 2021
" From The Executive Order Creating A 36 Member Commission To Provide A 180 Day Comprehensive Analysis Of Our Supreme Court. It Now Seems That Biden's Boneheaded Action Would Not Appease The Democratic Regime".
Since the establishment of The United States Supreme Court on September 24, 1789, it has remained one of the the most cherished institutions in the United States. From The Declaration of Independence, to The United States Constitution, Our nation has always been based on " The Rule of Law ". The Constitution established a three branch Governing system, The Legislative, The Executive, and The Judicial branches of Government. The Judicial Branch has always maintain a balance of neutrality.
The Congress has the power to set the numbers of Justices allowed to be seated on The Supreme Court. Although, Congress has the power, the changes must be approved by The Senate. The members of The Supreme Court has remained at nine since 1869.
Since 1869 when a Justice steps down or retires from the bench of The Supreme Court creating a vacancy. The power to fill that vacancy has always been granted to the President who controls the Executive branch of Government. Although he has the power to appoint a Jurist, his appointment must be approved by the Senate. This provides a check and balance with the President's nominee.
With last weeks Executive Order by President Biden to establish a 36 partisan commission. To analyze the operation and functions of The Supreme Court. Now this week with the push from Congressman Jerry Nadler ( D-New York ) and Senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts, to pass a bill to expand the Supreme Court from nine to 13 Justices.
The move intensifies a high-stakes ideological fight over the future of the court. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-Calif. ) told reports Thursday she has " No plans to bring it to the floor ".
" I don't know that that's a good idea or a bad idea. I think it's an idea that should be considered," she said of the court expansion plan. " And I think the President is taking the right approach to have a commission to study such a thing. It's a big step".
The only other time that a plan to expand The Supreme Court was proposed was when President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed it in 1937. Roosevelt proposed The Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937. Which later was called the " Court-Packing Plan ", was a legislative initiative proposed by President Roosevelt to add more Justices to the Supreme Court. This was put motion in order to obtain favorable rulings regarding his New Deal Legislation, that The Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional. In the end Roosevelt's Legislative initiative ultimately failed.
When in 1983 Biden, then Senate ranking minority member of the U.S. Senate Committee on The Judiciary, stated " that any expansion to the Supreme Court, or so-called Court-Packing was a Bonehead Idea ". And further he would not support any legislation to expand the court.
With President Biden's 2.25 trillion dollar Infrastructure Plan receiving resistance. He is trying to do what every other Democrat in history has done, change the way we have governed for the past 245 years, allowing him to get his way.
Biden needs to first address the crisis that he has created at our southern border, before his take over of the only institution that is apolitical in our Nation today.
