This mission and to their
radical agenda at the ballot
box
joining now constitutional
scholar, Fox NEWS, contributor,
Jonathan Turley,
all right, packing the courts
and they wont give an answer.
If you basically have heard from
jock, he will end the
legislative filibuster. We know
they want d, DOT C and Puerto Rico
statehood.
We know they want amnesty which
could be. I think Democrats want
to because they think its going
to be more democratic votes down
the line,
even some talking about a
constitutional amendment to get
rid of the electoral college.
How scary is that to you?
The most unnerving thing
about these plans is that this
country is already divided.
Weve, never needed the
Supreme Court more. The
supreme Court is an
extraordinary institution that
President Jackson says,
presidents yielded to it and the
american public has yielded to
it
because it has wettability
because it has authority.
If you packed the courts, you
lose that
when you lose the Supreme
Courts in this moderating
institution stabilizing
institution things can go
really badly and really bad
times.
This is one of those times.
Weve been divided as a nation
before, but weve always had.
This stabilizing influence
thats, why its wrong for Biden
to refuse to answer a period of
many people of both parties will
not vote for someone who is even
considering a court packing plan
plan
to say that youre not going to
tell people until after the
election is just rather bizarre.
I probably should not
do this to you, but im going to
do it anyway.
Youre a lifelong Democrat
right
youve been a Democrat most of
your life.
I come from a very strong
democratic and liberal family
and I consider myself now a
independent.
I have a lot of respect for
Biden. I have a lot of respect
for Biden.
I have a lot of respect when he
was in the Senate, and I find
this all rather strange, because
the Biden that many of us on the
Senate was very popular because
he would speak to you straight
out,
particularly when it came to
constitutional matters.
He had a Northstar that you can
rely on.
This is not the Joe Biden that
many of us on the Senate
between all the
things d, dot c statehood. Amnesty
Isaac is a power grab.
Am I wrong in my observation? He
seems weak to you frail to you,
as he does me and cognitively
that he struggling.
Is that a fair observation
because they said it about
Mccain Ronald Reagan, fair
question for them?
I dont want to assume that
hes in decline, but I do think
its fair for people to ask
whether such a lack of clarity
and coherence in his positions.
This is really a blunder of the
first order. Come on refusal to
talk about whether youre going
to take this destructive step in
the courts.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg before she
passed, spoke against this
proposal as something that will
destroy the institution that she.
