Critics argue that Biden is using a "gimmick" to appease "far-left" dark money groups with his Supreme Court nomination.

Critics contend that President Biden's efforts to implement significant alterations to the Supreme Court are aimed at satisfying the left-wing faction of the Democrat party, despite the administration's initial reputation as a "moderate."

On Monday, Biden and Vice President Harris, who is currently leading the Democratic ticket in November, advocated for significant Congressional actions, including term limits, ethics regulations, and a constitutional amendment to restrict presidential immunity.

In a Washington Post op-ed, Biden stated that he holds "high regard for our institutions and the separation of powers" but "the current situation is abnormal and erodes public trust in the court's judgments, particularly those affecting personal liberties. We are now in a state of crisis."

Biden's move represents a significant shift from his previous stance, as he had previously opposed calls to reform the Supreme Court even from within his own party.

In the early years of his political career in the Senate, Biden criticized President Franklin D. Roosevelt's proposal to impose term limits on older justices and increase the number of justices on the court as a "foolish idea."

During the 2020 campaign, he opposed increasing the court's size, arguing it would harm its integrity.

On his way out the Oval Office door, Biden is endorsing plans from the most radical wing of his party, despite not stating his intention to pack the court with Monday's announcement.

A desperate candidate responded to calls to destroy the Supreme Court first, according to Carrie Severino, president of Judicial Network.

"The candidate will champion these dark money groups in the Arabella Advisors network, including Demand Justice, Fix the Court and other pop-up groups funded by liberal billionaires," she added.

Arabella Advisors is a fund that supports left-wing causes, and Brian Fallon, Harris' communications director, was previously the head of an Arabella-funded group that advocates for court packing.

Another Arabella-connected group, Fix the Court, advocates for term limits for Justices.

GOP strategist Matt Gorman stated that Biden is attempting to energize his supporters with this tactic.

"It's unbelievable that Joe Biden would support term limits. The left is desperate to gain control of the court, so they will use any means necessary to achieve it through legislation," he stated.

The conservative block on the Supreme Court has shifted its ideological stance since the appointment of Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett by former President Trump. While the conservative bloc is not always in agreement, Democrats in Congress and the White House have claimed that the Republican-appointed majority is responsible for the shift in ideology.

According to Severino, President Biden and Vice President Harris are attempting to bypass the Constitution and dismantle the Supreme Court because they lack control over it.

"With this announcement, Biden and Harris are declaring war on the separation of powers," she stated.

Planet Chronicle Digital did not receive a response from the Harris campaign.

President Biden is thankful for the backing of bipartisan legal experts, Congress members, and the majority of Americans as he defends the rule of law and the Supreme Court's integrity.

Bates stated that congressional Republicans must decide whether to uphold conflicts of interest on the Supreme Court and enable presidents to remain above the law or align with Joe Biden, conservative former judges, and their constituents to safeguard principles that should transcend partisanship.

After scrutiny from Democrats in Congress, the Supreme Court adopted a new code of conduct last year.

The rules and principles outlined in the statement are not new, as the Court has long had a body of rules derived from various sources, including statutory provisions, the code that applies to other members of the federal judiciary, ethics advisory opinions issued by the Judicial Conference Committee on Codes of Conduct, and historic practice, as stated by all the justices.

Although there is no Code, it has been misunderstood that the Justices of this Court do not follow any ethics rules. To clarify, we are issuing this Code, which is a compilation of principles we have long believed should guide our behavior.
