president biden be someone who despite
condemning packing the court in the past
would turn around and change course on
that the reason was we couldn't get a
straight answer from him
on the campaign we now know that he has
created this commission
uh bipartisan commission of people who
are going to consider
packing the court and whether or not
expanding the supreme court
would be a good idea well as i've
mentioned joe biden himself condemned
uh packing the court in the past and
talked about why that was bad it's not
just joe biden that has done that not
just the president
some other justices not right-wing
justices justice stephen breyer
and ruth bader ginsburg also warned
against expanding the court let's listen
to what they had to say and we'll talk
about it some more
what i'm trying to do is to make those
whose initial instincts may favor
important structural change or other
similar institutional changes
such as forms of support packing think
long and hard
before they embody those changes in law
nine seems to be a good number and
it's been that way for for a long time
i think that was a bad idea when
president franklin delano roosevelt
tried to pack the court so those are the
old school liberals saying what a bad
idea it is the leftists have taken over
and you
you would call joe biden a coward for
caving if you thought he knew exactly
what he was doing instead during the
campaign he felt like to appease the
leftists
i'm not going to answer this question
the media didn't push too hard because
the media was on his side
so he said instead i'll form a
commission and the commission will study
it
and then they'll give me a
recommendation which will launder the
bad ideas that
are harmful to our republic and then i
can hide behind the commission if it
recommends that we add i don't know will
what is it
two three four doesn't really matter
right as long as
joe biden gets to pick them and chuck
schumer gets to nominate them
then they'll all be leftists who
overtake the majority of the court
that's the scary part the number does
not matter because the point is
pass approve make sure my ideological
agenda
encounters no resistance that's the
point of packing the supreme court
jonathan turley a fox news contributor
george washington university law
professor was on foxy friends a little
bit earlier and he talked about this
move
we're living in an age of rage and with
that comes a certain
impulse by environment people just want
to change
institutions or cancel individuals they
disagree with
what people are arguing for is for an
immediate
addition of justices to give
liberals a controlling majority on the
court and they're not very subtle about
this
many of these individuals who advocate
for court packing
are not very subtle uh and so the
question is where is the president and
many of us had hoped that he would be
the
the biden we knew in the senate someone
who is a moderating voice
he hasn't thus far two quick points on
this before we move on number one there
is a concerted effort on the left to
when you are staring in the face of
losing an argument change the argument
in fact stop arguing change the language
and we've seen that when it comes to the
definition of infrastructure the
definition of racism and the interview
you can call your opponent racism is
definitely part
we're seeing it here with court packing
as well you will see it they'll say pac
the republicans packed the supreme court
meaning they appointed
judges that reflect their justices that
reflect their ideology that's not
packing
packing is enlarging the court that's
specifically what's happening
and the second quick point is this is
make no mistake this is drastic and this
is radical and it hasn't even been
attempted since the 1930s
and it was it was rebuffed at that time
this is a big big deal
as was pulling the major league baseball
game out of georgia in response to
the voting bill in that state we knew at
the time that would pull 100 million
dollars approximately of revenue
out of that local economy an economy
where 51 percent of the residents of
atlanta
are minority are african-american here
is a quote from
the president of national limousine
service inc
in atlanta telling the washington beacon
washington free beacon how this impacts
his business
as the owner of a transportation service
in atlanta i know firsthand how badly
the community wanted the all-star game
here the 100 million in revenue
to this area was going to be for the
opportunity of all of us to recover some
of the losses that we incurred during
the pandemic now not only is that
revenue gone
we may lose even more because
conventions that were planned for
atlanta are now up in the air
thanks to this decision by major league
baseball so
these policies clearly helping those it
was intended to help jedi
yeah right i mean you know the
implications of these policies the
effect on business owners
so of course you are that's why i said
of course uh but yeah it's terrible
it's terrible to see these businesses
just to see and what's worse is to see
politicians come out
you know media figures whoever it may be
come out and make it like you know we're
doing something for you we're making a
statement
they make a statement and the product of
that statement is that the very people
they claim to want to help obviously
suffer that happens
very often right now this is one case
that we're seeing this happens all the
time in culture
um and in business and in economics when
one side is trying so hard to make a
point but not really thinking that
through
and now you see the implications and i
think you're going to have business
owners that that speak out more and more
and more and just saying listen if
you're
trying to help us i don't care about
your statement i care about the policies
that are now hurting my business hurting
my family hurting my ability
to put food on a table and to live in a
place that has hustle and bustle and
energy
and is growing so um one example of many
to come
yeah the folks that competed in the woke
olympics over the major league baseball
issue
don't ultimately care what happened will
you you shared with me uh
the uh the masters is going on in
augusta yeah lots of private jets flying
in there
yes who's flying those private jets i
saw a list of charter planes headed into
augusta national
i mean you weren't surprised as you
should no
coca-cola delta all the ceos
all the executives where they headed
wait they flew to a racist golf course
one of them flew i believe the flight
was from atlanta to augusta by the way
which is a two and a half hour drive
of course because these corporations jet
all they do is pay the woke tax
they don't they don't really care they
don't ultimately they're still going to
augusta they're still hanging out in
atlanta they still love georgia
but they'll pay the mob the tax to not
be attacked anymore
and and who pays for it the businesses
in atlanta
and the people who work hard for a
living
