Biden and Democratic Norms

Democrats have spent six years warning about the threat to democratic norms and institutions, and sometimes they’re even right—the Jan. 6, 2021 riot being Exhibit A. But they’d have more credibility if they stopped undermining democratic institutions when it suits their political purposes. President Biden is a leading offender on that score these days, and he did it again last week by attacking the Supreme Court at a Democratic fundraiser. “I view this off-year election as one of the most important elections that I’ve been engaged in because a lot can change because the institutions have changed. The Supreme Court is more of an advocacy group these days than it is a, even-handed about it,” the President said at an event for Delaware Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester .
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Tuesday issued his most pointed criticism of the Supreme Court yet, describing the high court as "more of an advocacy group these days" than "evenhanded." "The Supreme Court is more of an advocacy group these days than it is ... evenhanded about it," Biden said when speaking about the upcoming midterm elections on Nov. 8. Biden's comments come several months after the Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 decision that made abortions legal nationwide. Republican leaders changed the Senate rules in 2017, lowering the threshold to confirm Supreme Court nominees from 60 votes to 51 and allowing then-President Donald Trump to put three justices on the high court. Biden this year nominated his first Supreme Court justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson — the first Black woman on the court.
Biden criticized the Supreme Court as "more of an advocacy group." The court overturned Roe v. Wade in June. "The Supreme Court is more of an advocacy group these days than it is ... evenhanded," the president continued. Biden has publicly criticized the Supreme Court since June, when a 5-4 conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that established the constitutional right to abortion nearly 50 years ago. "The president believes the Supreme Court must be nonpartisan," Jean-Pierre said, "and committed to upholding the Constitution and the rule of law regardless of politics."
