If it already wasn't, The Supreme Court Is Now On The Ballot.

Positions Dems hold are almost universally held by a majority of Americans.

A blatant Dem LIE. Your lying is one of the reasons Dems are unpopular, you lie about everything just making shit up on the fly.

You're bouncing all over the place. Now you're defending trump using the DoJ to go after Clinton and Comey?

When did he do that?? Oh he didn’t

Unlike the demafacist, trump didn’t go after his political rivals

WASHINGTON — President Trump told the White House counsel in the spring that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute two of his political adversaries: his 2016 challenger, Hillary Clinton, and the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, according to two people familiar with the conversation.

The lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution. Mr. McGahn said that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of power. To underscore his point, Mr. McGahn had White House lawyers write a memo for Mr. Trump warning that if he asked law enforcement to investigate his rivals, he could face a range of consequences, including possible impeachment.

The encounter was one of the most blatant examples yet of how Mr. Trump views the typically independent Justice Department as a tool to be wielded against his political enemies. It took on additional significance in recent weeks when Mr. McGahn left the White House and Mr. Trump appointed a relatively inexperienced political loyalist, Matthew G. Whitaker, as the acting attorney general.

All too often, however, the current administration has acted at odds with the DOJ’s critical mission. It has compromised the independence of the agency to help political friends and harm political foes. It has improperly overruled the decisions of career prosecutors in pending cases. It has refused to defend federal laws and policies it simply dislikes. It has declined to meaningfully enforce civil rights and environmental laws.2 And it has openly questioned the integrity of the career men and women of the DOJ in the process. These actions have undermined public confidence in the DOJ, demoralized the career workforce, and caused thousands of former DOJ officials—those who have served in Republican and Democratic administrations alike—to speak out, sound the alarm, and call for change.

This report attempts to answer that call by focusing not on specific actions of the current DOJ but on restoring and improving the institution itself. The Center for American Progress consulted a number of former DOJ officials—political appointees and career attorneys alike, many of whom served for decades in administrations of both parties—to identify key recommendations about what the next attorney general should do on day one, without the need for congressional action, to strengthen the norms that have long informed the DOJ’s work, improve public confidence, and rebuild morale in the workforce. While there will be considerable focus on the substantive policy agenda that the next administration and attorney general should pursue, this report examines the internal processes, procedures, and administrative responsibilities that are crucial to preserving the DOJ’s integrity and independence.

No matter who is president, the next administration, Congress, and inspectors general must examine the depths of the damage done over the past 3 1/2 years. To be sure, more needs to be done than what this report recommends. These 11 recommendations, however, serve as a starting point for the next attorney general to restore the norms and improve the institution of the DOJ:

The next attorney general has a daunting task to rebuild the U.S. Department of Justice; this report contains recommendations from former DOJ officials who served in multiple administrations on how to start that important work.

It’s hard to know the precise combination of developments that changed President Biden’s mind about Supreme Court reforms and prompted him to place them more centrally in the framework of the 2024 election.

Was it the ethics scandals of Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito and the Supreme Court’s own ineptitude in dealing with them? Was it the series of controversial decisions across a whole host of issues and areas of civic life in which the court wrested power away from the executive and legislative branches and placed it firmly in the judicial branch? Was it the six-justice conservative majority aggressively uprooting the court’s own precedents in pursuit of its own preferred legal and policy outcomes? Was it the fact that he’s trailing in the polls with his own re-election more at risk that at any previous point in his presidency?

All of the above are in play, of course. A tipping point was reached, and it’s unlikely any one development was the difference-maker.

Biden Elevates Supreme Court Reform To His Re-Election Agenda

It’s hard to know the precise combination of developments that prompted President Biden to embrace Supreme Court reforms.

trump's Court's popularity is in the shitter. Deservedly so. Perhaps this is a move by Joe to capitalize on voter sentiment. No matter the motive, reform is overdue. There must be accountability for crass ethics violations and for the lack of recusals when there are demonstrable conflicts of interest (hello Clarence). I can understand the Founders wanting to somewhat insulate the Court in order to maintain its independence. But they did not contemplate such a corrupt Court nor such polarized times.

Good luck with that.

You Dems just don't get it, we don't like you. You are not popular. Your policies are not popular. Hell even you don't like your own leader.

Berg doesn't understand that voters are more skeptical of Biden functioning 4 years from now than any of the SC justices.

Biden inflation

Prove to me Biden is responsible for the post COVID, global inflation the world experienced.

 

[Rogue AI]

Since the Court is now a political branch of government I submit to you that what's wrong is its current ideological extremism and complete lack of respect for stare decisis. This would not be so if, for example, McTreason had not caused such an imbalance with his dual acts of duplicity. But it's done now. Time for the majority to take the country back.

There is no extremism, you folks are just little bitches when you don't get your way. Grow up.

He was president. Bucks stops there. He undid all the policies that were working, gave us record Covid deaths, and mass inflation

What voters are skeptical about is HOW some of the justices will function, not whether they can. Will Clarence take a couple million more undeclared gifts from parties with cases before the Court? How many more decades long precedents will be reversed?

I would be shocked if half the country could tell you about balance of powers, how many SC justices there are, how they are appointed, and what their significance is.

Very true, thanks to rampant immigration.
