The Gist
The author argues that Kamala Harris is supporting a radical plan to block any future Trump Supreme Court nominees as part of a larger Democratic strategy to pack the Court with liberal justices. He claims this strategy is dishonest because the current Court isn't as partisan as Democrats pretend, and that it threatens the independence of the judicial system.
Conclusion
Kamala Harris's support for Demand Justice's campaign to preemptively block Trump Supreme Court nominees is part of a broader radical strategy to pack the Supreme Court and undermine judicial independence
Premises
- Harris is actively fundraising for Demand Justice, a group that advocates for court packing and has a radical agenda
- Demand Justice is preparing a $3-15 million campaign to oppose potential Trump nominees before vacancies even occur
- Democratic strategists have explicitly outlined plans to pack the Court from 9 to 13 justices when Democrats regain power
- This opposition strategy is disconnected from the actual record of conservative justices, who have frequently ruled against Trump administration positions
- The Supreme Court's decisions are predominantly unanimous or nearly unanimous, contradicting claims of rigid ideological division
- Harris appears to model her ideal justice on Ketanji Brown Jackson, whose judicial approach has been criticized as 'unnerving and unhinged' by both conservative and liberal justices
Assumptions
- Court packing represents a fundamental threat to judicial independence and constitutional governance
- Preemptive opposition to nominees before they are even selected is inherently illegitimate
- The current Supreme Court is not as ideologically rigid as Democrats claim
- Justice Jackson's judicial philosophy represents a dangerous departure from proper jurisprudence
- Democratic plans for court reform are primarily motivated by political power rather than legitimate constitutional concerns
