Kamala Harris basically admitted that she’s all for expanding the Supreme Court during a CNN town hall. Her remarks come as no surprise to those of us who’ve watched Democrats relentlessly attempt to reshape America’s foundational institutions to fit their agenda. This isn’t about restoring balance or improving fairness—it’s about lawfare at its finest and the desire to bend the judicial system to their will.
The Real Agenda: Destroying What Has Always Been
Harris’s support for “some kind of reform” of the Supreme Court is a euphemism for court-packing, plain and simple. Her thinly veiled agenda is to erode the integrity of a court that has stood for centuries as a pillar of constitutional law. Her argument, which centers on diminishing public confidence due to certain rulings like the Dobbs decision (overturning Roe v. Wade), reflects nothing more than a disdain for lawful decisions that don’t fit the liberal narrative.
Let’s be clear—the Supreme Court is not meant to legislate from the bench. It’s meant to interpret the Constitution as it was written, ensuring that each ruling adheres to the framework our Founding Fathers established. But that’s exactly what Kamala and her allies can’t stand. They want judges who will legislate from the bench, overturning precedent based on political winds rather than constitutional principles.
The Dangers of Legislating from the Bench
Court-packing isn’t just another “reform”—it’s a dangerous path that would permanently transform how our laws are made and interpreted. By adding more justices to the Supreme Court, Harris aims to secure a liberal majority that would rubber-stamp the progressive agenda, bypassing the legislative process altogether. This approach undermines the separation of powers, the very bedrock of our democracy.
Remember Franklin D. Roosevelt’s failed attempt to pack the court? Even his own party warned him that such a move would destroy the credibility of the judiciary. Yet here we are again, with Democrats willing to break the system to keep their political power intact. It’s a strategy of desperation—a blatant attack on one of the three co-equal branches of government.
Kamala’s “Mixed Messages” on the Issue
Harris’s shifting stance on Supreme Court expansion is hardly new. Back in 2019, during her presidential campaign, she was already floating the idea of increasing the number of justices. She claimed to be “open” to the idea, and now, as the 2024 Democratic nominee, she’s made it clear that court-packing is still very much on the table. For Harris, it seems that the Constitution is a mere suggestion, not the law of the land.
The truth is that Harris and her fellow Democrats have no real respect for the Constitution. They only support it when it suits their agenda. The Dobbs decision didn’t create new law—it corrected a constitutional overreach by returning the power to regulate abortion to the states, where it belongs. But to Harris, this represents a failure of the Court, not because of its interpretation of the law, but because it didn’t deliver the outcome she and her allies wanted.
A Slippery Slope: What’s Next?
What’s next after packing the court? Will Harris propose expanding Congress if she doesn’t get her way there? Will she suggest increasing the number of states to secure more Democratic senators? These ideas might sound absurd, but the concept of court-packing was absurd—until it wasn’t. The goal here is clear: to consolidate power at any cost.
If Harris gets her way, the implications for the rule of law will be devastating. It will signal the end of an independent judiciary and the beginning of a new era where laws are made not by elected representatives, but by political appointees in robes. It’s a strategy that would make totalitarian regimes proud and should deeply disturb any American who values the rule of law.
Kamala’s Hypocrisy: Picking and Choosing “Precedents”
Let’s not forget that Kamala Harris and her supporters were thrilled with the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn longstanding precedents when it suited their agenda. For example, they hailed the Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage, which overturned previous state laws, as a monumental victory. But when it comes to the Dobbs decision, suddenly, they’re concerned about “precedent.” It’s hypocritical and transparent.
The Constitution clearly outlines the process for amending laws: through Congress, not the judiciary. Yet, the left has consistently tried to circumvent this process, preferring to legislate from the bench when they can’t secure enough votes to pass their radical agenda through Congress. This tactic undermines the very fabric of our nation and poses a direct threat to our democratic system.
Final Thoughts: Stand Up for the Constitution
Kamala Harris’s push for Supreme Court expansion is a stark reminder that the battle for America’s soul is far from over. This isn’t about improving the court; it’s about tipping the scales of justice to favor a specific political ideology. It’s about legislating from the bench and redefining the rule of law.
It’s crucial that conservatives unite against this dangerous agenda. The Supreme Court is meant to serve as an interpreter of the Constitution, not as a tool for political gain. Harris and the Democrats want to destroy what has always been—a Court that rules based on the Constitution, not on political whims. We must be vigilant, speak out, and make sure this lawfare strategy doesn’t succeed.
