Ginni Thomas Privately Praised Group Working Against Supreme Court Reform: “Thank You So, So, So Much”

On Sunday, Justice #Gorsuch paid #FOXNews a visit, & the *Justice* did an interview w/Shannon Bream of #FauxNews.

Let me repeat that.

A supposedly #apolitical Justice of the supposedly apolitical #SupremeCourt sat down for an interview on FOX News. 

Gorsuch sat w/Shannon Bream to talk about #POTUS #Biden’s call for sweeping #SupremeCourtReform. When asked about Biden’s call for reforms to #SCOTUS, Justice Gorsuch said:

Here's President Biden's take on reforming the Supreme Court:

Would that op-eds and discussions were always so reasonable, plain-spoken, and brief. I hope Biden can at least get this project underway before he needs to leave the job.

Joe Biden: My plan to reform the Supreme Court and ensure no president is above the law

We can and must prevent the abuse of presidential power and restore the public’s faith in our judicial system.

The Washington Post

“Sleepy” Joe seems very awake to me! Americans face the choice of preserving and strengthening their democracy or slipping into a thoroughly Christian dictatorship led by a lying criminal.

Biden endorses Supreme Court reforms, amendment to limit immunity

For Biden, who has long resisted calls for Supreme Court reform, the call marks a major shift in his posture toward one of the three branches of government.

@mastodonmigration
I’m glad to see #Biden is meeting the moment and emphasizing the founding vision of the American president as separate from kings. It’s a defining identity that separates our history from most other countries.

I cannot think of anything more unAmerican than electing someone who wants to be king. #SCOTUS overplayed their hands giving the president king-like powers of immunity.

So I am happy to hear him mention rolling out plans for #SupremeCourtReform.

Took me a minute to get this. All male Supreme Court Justices Are Trump!😬🙄 *I don't consider Amy Coney Barrett deserving the title of 'Woman' 😏Please note the pearls tribute to Justice Ginsburg

News that Biden is preparing to come out in favor of Supreme Court reform is good. Because Democrats have to control Congress to make this happen, it gives progressive voters a reason to come out this November. Also Biden is at least implicitly signaling that he would back Senate Democrats in changing the filibuster rule to allow #SupremeCourtReform legislation to pass with a simple majority in the Senate. 1/2

Biden getting ready to announce support for Supreme Court reform, according to WaPo. #giftlink https://wapo.st/4bGC9gI

In this thread, some more information about the reforms reported. #LawFedi #SupremeCourtReform 1/

The president has discussed the plans with constitutional scholars and members of Congress in recent weeks.
