Harvard law professor Mark Tushnet and San Francisco State University political scientist Aaron \u200cBelkin have written a\u2064 letter to President Joe Biden, urging him to &#8220;restrain MAGA justices&#8221; and ensure that his administration will be guided by its own constitutional interpretations, regardless of the\u2063 outcomes of these rulings.<\/p>\n<h3>GOP Senators Work to Block Biden&#8217;s Plans \u2014 Literally<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;We have diligently advocated for Supreme Court expansion as a necessary strategy for restoring democracy over the past five years,&#8221; Tushnet and\u200c Belkin expressed via Fox News. &#8220;While we continue to support expansion, the threat\u200b posed by MAGA justices is so extreme that \u200bimmediate action is needed to limit the damage, even without Congressional approval.\u2063 Advocates \u200cand experts should encourage President Biden to take decisive action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Conservative \u2062judges, including Justice Brett Kavanaugh, have pushed\u200d back against the notion that the court is driven solely by a conservative supermajority. They argue that many decisions are unanimous or have various lineups, not\u200b strictly along ideological lines.<\/p>\n<p>During the 2022-2023 \u2064term, more than 50% of\u200d the cases decided were\u200b unanimous, with only five cases resulting in split decisions along ideological lines.\u2063 Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts joined the three liberal justices \u200din favor of black voters who claimed racial gerrymandering in \u200bdistrict maps.<\/p>\n<p>Tushnet and Belkin also assert \u200dthat &#8220;MAGA justices&#8221; pose a &#8220;grave threat&#8221; to the Constitution, a sentiment shared by \u2063Democrats following several high-profile rulings.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden himself criticized the Supreme Court as &#8220;not a normal court&#8221; after experiencing setbacks in various policy areas, such as federally protected abortion, religious expression, and his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-student-loan-forgiveness-education-department-reveals-which-states-have-the-most-borrowers\/\" title=\"Education Department reveals states with highest number of student loan borrowers for Biden's loan forgiveness plan.\">student loan relief program<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are currently working on a binding ethics code bill for the Supreme Court, prompted by reports of justices failing to disclose financial donations or gifts. Left-leaning lawmakers argue that this allows \u2063GOP donors to influence court rulings, while\u200b Republicans claim it is an\u200b attempt by Democrats to discredit\u200c the court.<\/p>\n<p>Legal expert Jonathan Turley, who warned about this interpretation of the Constitution\u2064 in an opinion piece for the Hill, argues that the professors&#8217; proposal goes against the majority of the public. Polling on debt forgiveness and affirmative action rulings shows\u200b that\u2063 65% of likely voters agree with the court&#8217;s \u200cdecision to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/apologists-for-race-based-college-admissions-cant-explain-its-educational-benefits\/\" title=\"Apologists for Race-Based College Admissions Can\u2019t Explain Its Educational Benefits\">end race-based admission policies<\/a> in universities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In other words, they are calling for Biden to declare himself the final arbiter of what the Constitution means and to exercise\u200b unilateral executive \u2063power without congressional approval,&#8221; Turley wrote. &#8220;He is to become a government unto himself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The \u200bpresident is seeking to circumvent the court&#8217;s ruling on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/liberal-professors-demand-biden-circumvent-supreme-court-rulings\/\" title=\"Liberal professors urge Biden to bypass Supreme Court decisions.\">broad student\u2064 loan\u2063 forgiveness plan<\/a> by adjusting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/professors-urge-biden-to-circumvent-supreme-courts-gravely-mistaken-rulings\/\" title=\"Professors urge Biden to bypass 'mistaken' Supreme Court rulings.\">income-driven repayment plan approved<\/a>\u200d by Congress in the 1990s.
