Why can’t Biden do his own supreme court appointments?
Comment on US Democracy
IzzyJ@lemmy.world 1 month agoBecause you have to consider all the court appointments he made, including the supreme court that he stacked. If the Biden admin did any more, itd just get struck down. The court can basically nullify any law or executive order they want without repercussion. Im frankly shocked he got away with as much as he did

He could, but traditionally the court is suppoaed to have seven Justices. He respects that did not want to be seen as trying to stack it. Unfortunately Republicans have no intention of giving the slightest fuck, were already stacking the court, and will likely continue doing so. If you ask me, I think Biden shouldve stacked it

Orange asshole is definitely going to get more of those court appointments over the next 4 years. And they will all pretty much be there for the rest of our lives. Any sort of sense of democracy that the US had was probably dealt a death blow today.
