Matt Whitaker joined Newsmax to discuss proposed changes to the Supreme Court.
Matt Whitaker, former Acting U.S. Attorney General, appeared on Newsmax to discuss proposed changes to the Supreme Court. Whitaker emphasized the historical use of the courts by the left to advance their agenda without facing electoral repercussions. He noted that now, facing elections, the unpopularity of their policies is evident. Whitaker criticized President Joe Biden's recent proposal regarding the Supreme Court, labeling it as "dead on arrival" in both the Senate and the House. He expressed relief that Biden did not propose court-packing, but warned against Congress attempting to impose ethics rules on the Supreme Court, calling it potentially disastrous.
Whitaker argued that imposing such rules would undermine the independence of the judiciary and politicize the court system. He expressed concern that the left aims to revert to a time when the Supreme Court had a liberal majority, enabling them to bypass the electoral process. He believes this move is a desperate attempt by Democrats to regain control and implement unpopular policies without public support.
Furthermore, Whitaker highlighted the broader implications of such proposals, suggesting they reflect a lack of unity and strength within the Democratic Party. He urged Republicans to remain vigilant and continue to oppose any attempts to undermine the structure and integrity of the Supreme Court. Whitaker's insights underscore the ongoing political battles surrounding the judiciary and the importance of maintaining a balanced and impartial judicial system
