Joining CNN’s ‘State of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash’ Warren addressed Biden’s desire to make changes to the highest court in the land before his tenure as president is over.
“One of the issues President Biden said he would focus on in the remainder of his term is reform of the U.S. Supreme Court,” Tapper said. “Among the changes he‘s reportedly considering are term limits and an enforceable ethics code for justices. Now, you‘ve been working on this issue in the Senate. What realistically do you think you could get through Congress? Not what should be, but what do you think you could actually accomplish?”
“Yeah, well, I think we‘ve got all the Democrats who are ready for meaningful ethics reform to bind the Supreme Court and we‘re working on changes to the Supreme Court,” Warren revealed. “It can be term limits, it could be adding the number of justices. Things we can do without having to have a constitutional amendment. I think what President Biden is doing is- think about this moment. Here is a man who‘s been a transformative president. He‘s gotten an enormous amount done. And yet he has stepped away and he has passed the torch to Kamala Harris. Why has he done that?”
Warren branded Biden stepping out of the race as an “act of patriotism,” despite news reports claiming that Democrats threatened him with the 25th Amendment to get him to “pass the torch.”
“He‘s done it as an act of patriotism for our nation. And he is saying, we not only have to have a president who is here for the nation and who will heal us and bring us together, we also have to change our Supreme Court because right now we have a Supreme Court that has basically jumped the guard rails and is out there giving power to the president saying that the president can commit any act that the president wants,” the senator claimed. “Saying that Congress cannot authorize agencies to act so we’ve got a Supreme Court that is actively undermining our democracy. And I think what Joe Biden will do over the next six months is he‘s going to keep drawing that to the attention of the American people and reminding them when they vote in November, the Supreme Court is on the ballot, and that is a good reason to vote for Kamala Harris and to vote for Democrats in both the Senate and the House.”
