This week, President Biden introduced his plan for “reforming” the Supreme Court, featuring an unconstitutional proposal for imposing term limits on justices. This development follows years of relentless leftist attacks and unfair criticism towards the constitutionalist justices on the Supreme Court, particularly Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
President Biden claims these “reforms” are necessary because “what is happening now (on the Supreme Court)… undermines the public’s confidence in recent court decisions” and has negatively impacted “our personal freedoms.” In reality, the political left simply doesn’t like that recent rulings have held up the Constitution’s limits on the power of government.
Biden’s hypocrisy on “personal freedoms” is most evident in the recent dissents by the court’s left wing — Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. All betray a lack of concern for upholding the Constitution’s protections against an oppressive central government and abusive prosecutors.
In SEC v. Jarkesy, the Securities and Exchange Commission investigated investment adviser George Jarkesy Jr. and his investment advisor firm, claiming he had committed investment fraud. The SEC then prosecuted him in-house, not in a court of law, using an administrative law “judge” — an SEC employee — who, surprise, surprise, found Jarkesy guilty and imposed a $300,000 fine.
Jarkesy challenged this procedure, arguing this administrative prosecution violated his Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial in a court of law. A majority of the Supreme Court agreed — that is, the six justices who are constantly being attacked by President Biden and the mainstream media
