Mike Davis slammed the Democrats’ attempts to reform the Supreme Court on the Tuesday WarRoom, emphasizing the significance of preserving an independent judiciary. According to Davis, the Biden-Harris administration’s judicial reform proposals react to recent Supreme Court decisions against radical Democratic policies.
Davis, referencing Justice Neil Gorsuch’s warning to Democrats, “Be careful,” highlighted the potential dangers of undermining the Supreme Court’s role in safeguarding the Constitution and the rule of law.
Davis elaborated on this: “It’s the unpopular people among us who need independent judges.” In his view, those without power or influence require judges free from political pressure, as they serve as the last line of defense against unjust government actions. This principle is crucial, especially in light of recent political maneuvers by the Biden administration, which Davis believes are aimed at expanding executive power at the expense of judicial independence.
As Davis explains, this issue isn’t just about judicial reform; it’s a fundamental battle for the integrity of America’s legal system.
Justice Neil Gorsuch, a staunch defender of constitutional principles, recently published a book titled Overruled, where Davis told the WarRoom, he explores the complexities of the rule of law in modern America. Davis praised Gorsuch’s book for shedding light on how “we have too many laws in this country and we have laws that are even made up by administrative agencies and bureaucrats, not through our elected members of Congress.”
Davis noted that this bureaucratic overreach traps everyday Americans in a complex legal maze, a system far removed from the intentions of the nation’s Founding Fathers. In the book, Gorsuch argues that the Supreme Court’s role is to protect “real Americans” from these overreaching laws and the tyranny that can arise when power goes unchecked.
Davis argued that the administration’s attempt to alter the court’s structure is a direct attack on its independence, driven by frustration with its decisions. “Make no mistake about this,” Davis said, “after President Biden and Kamala Harris tried to bankrupt Trump, they tried to throw him in prison for life, they tried to simply take him off the ballot, the Supreme Court of the United States stepped in and stopped this grotesque overreach.”
This, he argues, is why Biden and Harris are targeting the court, trying to reshape it in a way that would prevent such legal obstacles in the future.
Davis accused the administration of “trying to destroy the Supreme Court that stopped them,” likening their actions to those of authoritarian regimes. “This is what happens in Marxist, third-world hellholes like Venezuela,” he said, pointing out the parallels between Biden’s actions and those of dictators who dismantle independent institutions to consolidate power. Davis warned that such actions set a dangerous precedent, threatening the foundational principles of American democracy.
The implications of these judicial reforms are profound. By potentially increasing the number of justices and altering how they are appointed, Davis argues that the Democrats’ proposals would “create an increasing pressure of politicization on America’s highest court,” undermining its ability to function as an impartial arbiter of justice. This, he contends, would not only erode public trust in the judiciary but also lead to further political polarization and instability.
Davis concluded by emphasizing the urgent need to maintain a strong, independent judiciary, one that stands as a bulwark against governmental overreach. He called for vigilance in protecting this vital institution, warning that if the judiciary falls under political control, it could lead to the erosion of individual freedoms and the rule of law itself. In his words, “We need an independent judiciary. If we lose the independent judiciary, it’s going to destroy our country.”
