(MSNBC) Biden will ask Americans to redirect their faith in SCOTUS
“MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards. Backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love,” Biden is set to say tonight, according to excerpts released by the White House.
Biden makes a clear reference to the Supreme Court here, as he offers us a whistle-stop tour of some of the court’s most high-profile decisions and what we can expect to come. (With the fall of Roe v. Wade in June, Justice Clarence Thomas, in his concurring opinion, threatened to reconsider cases which protect same-sex marriage and sexual relations, for example.)
In making reference to the Supreme Court and attaching it to threats against America’s democratic principles, Biden suggests Americans can no longer put their faith in the judicial branch because it has been tainted by Trump, who appointed one-third of the court during his term. In order to preserve democracy and prevent this country from returning to the Dark Ages, Biden will make the case that Americans must instead place their trust in the executive and legislative branches, the last defenses against authoritarian and regressive forces.
