I called my Democratic Congressman Morgan McGarvey office today to let him know my views on two subjects, and both are intertwined.
- I support President Biden and Do NOT want him to withdraw from the presidential race, but..
- I WANT THE SCOTUS EXPANDED! And I want President Biden to get behind this effort.
I admit that I am angry, depressed, and upset about Biden’s piss poor debate performance. But what I am more apopletic and fearful about is that Biden will not change course on his opposition to reforming the SCOTUS! It’s a fact that Biden is old, but his thinking on the sacredness of Washington political institutions is rigid, anachronistic, and a danger to our democracy.
We have an Imperial Court that has now created an Imperial Presidency. The Congress no longer matters because the SCOTUS has arrogated to itself legislative powers with its many reactionary rulings of late. And as long as the president is a reactionary, the SCOTUS will allow the president to commit any crimes and enforce any laws the SCOTUS enacts.
The SCOTUS is filled with dangerous reactionaries that are destroying our democracy and taking away our rights and freedoms.
If Biden is reelected, he will not be able to put forth his political agenda because it is being ripped to shreds before our very eyes by the anti-democratic and rogue SCOTUS. I know Biden will run against the Court, but it’s not good enough to say, “Me good, Court bad! Elect me and things good!” The Court will still be packed with a Republican supermajority.
The only way to end the SCOTUS reign of terror is to place 6 more Democratic justices on the Court.
No, I didn’t go into all of that on the phone with McGarvey’s aide. I just stated my two bullet points as succintly as possible. But I did add that the SCOTUS is a direct threat to your democracy.
I urge folks on here to call up their Democratic congressperson and senators to do the same.
