Biden
Commissions the Supreme Court
His
panel on court-packing tilts sharply to the legal and political left.
By The Editorial Board
President Biden on Friday announced his Presidential Commission
on the Supreme Court, which is better understood as the commission on packing
the Supreme Court. The White House is trying to make this seem like routine
political business, but don’t be fooled.
Packing the Court hasn’t been
actively debated since FDR’s attempt flopped in the 1930s. Then again, many
things Democrats are doing these days haven’t been tried since the 1930s.
Democrats had a meltdown over Donald Trump’s three High Court appointees, and
Mr. Biden’s commission idea was a way to appease progressives and avoid taking
a firm position during the 2020 campaign.
***
“The Commission’s purpose is to provide an analysis of the
principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme
Court reform, including an appraisal of the merits and legality of particular
reform proposals,” says a White House press release. “The topics it will
examine include the genesis of the reform debate; the Court’s role in the
Constitutional system; the length of service and turnover of justices on the
Court; the membership and size of the Court; and the Court’s case selection,
rules, and practices.”
The commission will have an unwieldy 36 members, who tilt
markedly to the political left. The co-chairs are Bob Bauer, Barack Obama’s
former White House counsel, and Cristina Rodriguez, a former official in the
Obama Justice Department. Mr. Bauer has argued publicly against court-packing,
but he’ll have his hands full with the commission
The White House release says Duke law
professor Guy-Uriel Charles “writes about the relationship between law and
political power and law’s role in addressing racial subordination.” Caroline
Fredrickson is a former president of the American Constitution Society, the
left-wing legal lobby. Michael Waldman runs the Brennan Center for Justice, the
highly partisan legal shop at NYU that wants to restrict political speech.
Laurence Tribe is the Harvard professor whose Twitter feed hasn’t helped his reputation
for judgment or reason.
Former appellate Judge Thomas Griffith, a Bush appointee, was a
member of the Code of Conduct Committee of the U.S. Judicial Conference that
tried to ban judges from belonging to the Federalist Society. Judge Griffith
was going along for that ride until we reported the news and hundreds of
federal judges objected.
The commission includes a few legal conservatives, notably
scholar Adam White, who has contributed to these pages; Princeton professor
Keith Whittington ; and Caleb Nelson, a University of Virginia law professor
and former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas.
The danger is that these conservatives will lend a bipartisan
patina to a commission that by its very existence is meant to pressure the
Supreme Court. The threat of court-packing is intended to make the Justices
think twice about rulings that progressives dislike. Many of our legal friends
think the threat has already had a notable impact on Chief Justice John Roberts
on gun rights and abortion cases.
The commission will have six months to report, and during that
time it will come under pressure from Democrats determined to weaken judicial
review of their policies. Sen. Dick Durbin, who chairs the Judiciary Committee,
signed on to a 2019 Supreme Court brief all but threatening the Justices with
court-packing if their ruling in a Second Amendment case displeased him.
The irony of this commission is that the Democratic Party is
already in a position to shape the federal courts through normal channels.
Judges appointed by Democrats have begun to retire, and most of Mr. Biden’s
nominees will sweep through the Democratic-controlled Senate.
The contention that judges appointed by Donald Trump are
political apparatchiks was dramatically repudiated when they swatted aside
unsupported Republican challenges to the 2020 election. Their constitutionalist
philosophy will create more space for the political branches of government to
function as designed. That’s how the separation of powers is supposed to work.
The Biden commission has more than a whiff of the executive branch telling the
judicial branch how to do its job.
***
No less than Justice Stephen Breyer said in a speech this week
that adding Justices would damage the public’s view of the Court and the rule
of law. “Structural alteration motivated by the perception of political
influence can only feed that latter perception, further eroding that trust,” he
said. Court-packing may not be possible in the current Congress, but Justice
Breyer’s timely intervention suggests the prospect isn’t as remote as some
think.
Public trust in
American institutions is dangerously low, and the Supreme Court isn’t immune.
If the commission endorses court-packing, or some other “reform” that smacks of
an attempt to shape legal outcomes, the political backlash will be furious. As
Mr. Biden himself said on the subject way back in 2019, before he moved left in
2020, “we’ll live to rue that day.”
And: As I always say, but radical Democrats and hypocritical liberals disagree. There is always a second side to any question: https://www.frontpagemag.com/

Pennsylvania town saved by fracking fears prosperity is in jeopardy
By Salena Zito
CANONSBURG-Thirty years ago Jason Capps was a young man with
ambitions but when he looked around the Washington County region he called home
all he saw were opportunities that were slipping away. The coal mines where his
father worked was dying, and the glass, steel and manufacturing overall were on
their last legs.
In 1983 the regional economy had collapsed—with the Pittsburgh metropolitan
statistical area of which Washington County is part of adjusted unemployment
rate hit a blistering 17.1 percent; four years later when Capps graduated from
high school Washington County was still at a staggering 12 percent unemployment
rate.
“My ability to carve out a future here was limited at best, impossible at
worst. So I left.”
At the time this town was known mostly for being the home of crooner Perry
Como, polka king Bobby Vinton, Sarris Candy, All-Clad Metalcrafters and the
second largest Fourth of July Parade in the state that is so anticipated by
everyone here they place their folding chairs along the route days ahead of the
parade just to secure a good seat.
Today Capps is standing in front of the vintage wine cellar situated near the
grand entrance of Bella Sera his spectacular Canonsburg event venue that
resembles a grand Tuscan Villa that somehow found a home in Western
Pennsylvania.
