According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hup.harvard.edu\/catalog.php?isbn=9780674269361\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harvard University Press<\/a>, Breyer will reflect upon how the authority of the Supreme Court will be diminished if it becomes a game of political football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA sitting justice reflects upon the authority of the Supreme Court \u2014 how that authority was gained and how measures to restructure the Court could undermine both the Court and the constitutional system of checks and balances that depends on it,\u201d the publisher wrote in a synopsis of his book.<\/p>\n<p>Breyer\u2019s book will further argue that the Supreme Court should not be subjected to partisan politics, Right or Left.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA growing chorus of officials and commentators argues that the Supreme Court has become too political,\u201d Harvard University Press wrote. \u201cOn this view the confirmation process is just an exercise in partisan agenda-setting, and the jurists are no more than \u2018politicians in robes\u2019 \u2015 their ostensibly neutral judicial philosophies mere camouflage for conservative or liberal convictions. As a result of this perceived crisis, and for the first time since the New Deal era, there is serious talk of court-packing in the name of ideological balance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBreyer warns that public trust would be eroded by political intervention, dashing the authority of the Court,\u201d the outlet elaborated. \u201cWithout the public\u2019s trust, the Court would no longer be able to act as a check on the other branches of government and a guarantor of the rule of law, threatening the foundations of our constitutional system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Breyer will further argue that the solution to a decline in public trust will be to better educate the public about an independent judiciary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf public trust is now in decline, the solution is to promote better understanding of how the judiciary actually works: Overwhelmingly, judges adhere to their oath to avoid considerations of politics and popularity,\u201d added Harvard University Press. \u201cThe peril facing the Supreme Court comes less from partisan judges than from citizens who, encouraged by politicians, equate impartial justice with agreeable judicial outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In April, reports surfaced that Senate and House Democrats were working on legislation that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gop-leaders-rise-to-condemn-dems-court-packing-plan\">would add four<\/a> new justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. Prior to that, Justice Breyer said that court-packing would erode any and all trust in the judiciary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the public sees judges as \u2018politicians in robes,\u2019 its confidence in the courts, and in the rule of law itself, can only diminish, diminishing the court\u2019s power, including its power to act as a \u2018check\u2019 on the other branches,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/liberal-supreme-court-justice-warns-on-court-packing-will-diminish-confidence-in-court-rule-of-law\">Breyer said<\/a>\u00a0in a speech to Harvard Law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe court\u2019s decision in the 2000 presidential election case, Bush v. Gore, is often referred to as an example of its favoritism of conservative causes,\u201d he later added. \u201cBut the court did not hear or decide cases that affected the political disagreements arising out of the 2020 Trump v. Biden election. It did uphold the constitutionality of Obamacare, the health care program favored by liberals,\u201d Breyer said in noting some of the things that the court has sided with liberals on. \u201cIt did re-affirm precedents that favored a woman\u2019s right to an abortion. It did find unlawful certain immigration, census, and other orders, rules, or regulations, favored by a conservative president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gop-leaders-rise-to-condemn-dems-court-packing-plan\">\u2018Spit In The Face Of Judicial Independence\u2019: GOP Leaders Rise To Condemn Dems\u2019 Court Packing\u00a0Plan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
