Biden Lectures Netanyahu on Judicial Reform — After Launching His Own Court-Packing Commission
Breitbart ^ | 20 Mar 2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

President Joe Biden has warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against pursuing judicial reform — after his own administration considered a radical proposal to pack the Supreme Court with liberal justices.

The Times of Israel reports that Biden “raised his concerns with the judicial overhaul being advanced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government during a ‘candid and constructive’ phone call” on Sunday.

The article fails to note that Biden entertained his own, far more radical, proposals to change the U.S. judiciary after Democrats grew irate at the increasingly conservative composition of the Supreme Court after 2018.

I repeat: Has Bibi warned that feckless Joe Biden is destroying America’s legal system? If he did, wouldn’t we consider that an egregious interference in OUR political system.

Nope. Once your on SCOTUS, you’re there for life and good behavior. They’d have to impeach in Congress and convict in the Senate.
