The Dems war against Supreme Court

American Action News:

President Joe Biden and Democrats are pushing for “unconstitutional” changes to the Supreme Court after suffering stinging losses in multiple landmark cases, noted attorney Alan Dershowitz said Monday.

President Joe Biden proposed reforms to the Supreme Court in a Monday op-ed in the Washington Post, citing the court’s ruling in United States v. Trump that granted immunity from prosecution for a president’s official acts and claiming the reforms, including 18-year-terms for Supreme Court justices, were necessary to “strengthen the guardrails of democracy.” Dershowitz disputed Biden’s claim, instead saying that Biden’s concern was more about “the fact that they lost” major cases in the Supreme Court.

“Then we get to the real point of what they want: They don’t care about the structure, the Supreme Court, about term limits,” Dershowitz said. “They care about the fact that they lost in the Supreme Court. They lost Roe versus Wade. That’s when it really started, ‘Let’s pack the court. Let’s turn the court more to the left,’ and then, of course, the most recent decision involving presidential immunity.”

In 2022, the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, and upheld Mississippi’s ban on most abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy Friday in a 6-3 ruling. That year, the high court also struck down New York’s concealed carry law requiring “good cause” to issue a license to carry a firearm outside one’s home and ruled that the exclusion of religious schools from a government voucher program was unconstitutional.

In the Supreme Court’s term that ended July 1, in addition to ruling that presidents had immunity from prosecution for official acts, it also overturned what was known as “Chevron deference,” which required courts to defer to interpretations of law by regulatory agencies and ruled that fines imposed by administrative law judges violated the Seventh Amendment. The court also held that the Justice Department wrongly used a statutory provision to prosecute participants in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol building.

Earlier, Dershowitz said that the term limits would be struck down as unconstitutional, accusing Biden and Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe of seeking a “campaign issue.”

Of course, the Democrats never thought the Supreme Court was a problem when they had a liberal majority changing the law.  They liked the Warren Court.  Now they want to rig the court to push their agendas.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
