Panel Criticizes Biden For Not Considering Supreme Court Reform

Joe Biden looks focused.

A panel of journalists criticized President Biden for not considering court reform or packing the Supreme Court as the justices deliberate on former President Trump's immunity claim in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case. The journalists highlighted the oral arguments on Trump's immunity and suggested that structural changes to the Supreme Court were necessary.

The discussion revolved around the belief that the president should not have absolute immunity, with suggestions of court reform or court-packing as potential solutions. The panel expressed concern that Biden's reluctance to pursue court reform could be a significant political misstep for his administration.

One journalist, who previously worked for Biden, mentioned that the President holds a belief in upholding existing rules and systems, despite calls for a different approach. Another journalist criticized Biden for his stance, stating that the Supreme Court has made controversial decisions in recent years, impacting various policies.

The panel predicted that the Supreme Court might introduce a new legal doctrine in its ruling on presidential immunity, expected by late June. Trump's criminal trial linked to Smith's investigation is on hold pending the Supreme Court's decision on the immunity issue.

In their request for the Supreme Court to review presidential immunity, Trump and his legal team argued that upholding presidential prosecutions could lead to destructive cycles of recrimination. The outcome of the Supreme Court's ruling on this matter will have significant implications for future presidential immunity cases.
