resident Biden should find ways to defy the rulings of "MAGA justices" for their "gravely mistaken" constitutional interpretations, law professors urged in a letter on Wednesday.
Harvard law professor Mark Tushnet and San Francisco State University political scientist Aaron Belkin penned "An Open Letter to the Biden Administration on Popular Constitutionalism" to respond to what Biden has called "not a normal court" following high-profile cases.
"We urge resident Biden to restrain MAGA justices immediately by announcing that if and when they issue rulings that are based on gravely mistaken interpretations of the Constitution that undermine our most fundamental commitments, the Administration will be guided by its own constitutional interpretations," they wrote.
The letter continued, "We have worked diligently over the past five years to advocate Supreme Court expansion as a necessary strategy for restoring democracy. Although we continue to support expansion, the threat that MAGA justices pose is so extreme that reforms that do not require Congressional approval are needed at this time, and advocates and experts should encourage President Biden to take immediate action to limit the damage."
Tushnet and Belkin cited a solution known as "popular constitutionalism" claiming "that courts do not exercise exclusive authority over constitutional meaning." They theorized that Biden could explain how the Supreme Court’s decisions are "egregiously wrong" and offer an alternative constitutional interpretation, particular if the ruling poses a "grave threat."
"In this particular historical moment, MAGA justices pose a grave threat to our most fundamental commitments because they rule consistently to undermine democracy and to curtail fundamental rights, and because many of their rulings are based on misleading and untrue claims," they warned.
George Washington University law professor and legal expert Jonathan Turley penned an op-ed for The Hill on Saturday that warned about this interpretation of the constitution.

“Law professors urge Biden to defy ‘mistaken’ rulings by ‘MAGA’ Supreme Court justices”
Each of them needs to be FIRED, and if they have a law license, have that REVOKED.
And if the tabulation of the election results don’t go your way, ignore that too and add additional ballots until the result seems correct to you.
Sounds like insurrection to me.
Fire these professors and yank their licenses.
This is what a real insurrection looks like…
Beat me by .24 seconds…
Where’s Traitor Roberts reminding America that:
“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Roberts said in a statement. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.”
“That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”
Popular constitutionalism? That is rule by the loudest voice; which is specifically what the US Constitution was created to restrict.
Leftists are below pond scum.
I think we should restrain these professors with a rope.
yep, that is real insurrection, not taking selfies in funny hats!
Apparently, Biden thinks he can.
F*****g lawyers
Leftists are not even human beings!
My thoughts exactly.
Sounds like they are inciting an insurrection to me
Scofflaws thy name is Democrat.
No one is above the law. — except when liberals want them to be.
More lawfare from democrat communist party members.
May as well lay SCOTUS off and send them home.
