Do Something about This "Right-Wing Ideological Jihad," Biden!

“‘His admiration for the court as an institution has been overtaken by reality. And I think it’s time to wake up,’ said Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe, a member of the commission and someone who has advised the Biden White House on legal matters. ‘It’s the court itself that has plunged ahead without any inhibition on a kind of highly activist, agenda driven, right-wing ideological jihad.’”

“‘If you’re in a kind of theoretical game situation with an opponent who begins acting in bad faith, what do you do? Do you continue to play by the rules and hope that will incentivize them to return to the norms? Or do you retaliate in a tit for tat way and thus hopefully incentivize [them] to go back to the traditional norms?’ Michael Klarman, a Harvard law professor who testified to Biden’s court commission, said in an interview. ‘I think you’re a fool for not doing what’s in your power to try to protect the system,’ Klarman added, calling Biden ‘hopelessly naïve’ for opposing court expansion.’” 

“Brian Fallon, executive director of court reform group Demand Justice, said Biden should subordinate his institutionalist streak and unrelenting belief that he could help bring back an era of bipartisan comity. He urged the president to not squander the political opportunity before him to make ‘a villain out of these Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices issuing hugely unpopular decisions that are extremely relevant politically.’”
