This used to be a government of checks and balances. Now it’s all checks and no balances.
– Gracie Allen
Dear Reader,
As children, we all encountered that one person who, upon losing a game, would throw all the pieces onto the floor and storm out. It’s a clear example of immaturity and bad sportsmanship. Now, Joe Biden is doing the same thing, but with the Supreme Court.

Biden’s Response to Supreme Court Defeats
Biden and his progressive allies have faced a series of defeats at the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court. These rulings have drastically shifted the legal landscape.
Key Supreme Court Decisions
- Trump v. United States: This case granted presidents complete immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts within their core responsibilities.
- Loper Bright v. Raimondo: The Supreme Court overturned the Chevron deference doctrine, stating that courts, not Deep State agencies, must resolve ambiguities.
- Fischer v. United States: This decision required further review by trial courts for January 6th defendants charged with obstructing official proceedings, leading the DOJ to drop many charges.
- SEC v. Jarkesy: The SEC cannot use administrative courts to impose fines, as it denies the right to a jury trial.
These decisions were delivered in rapid succession from late June to early July.
Biden’s Controversial Response
Instead of respecting these rulings, Biden proposed legislation to impose term limits on Supreme Court Justices. This would specifically force conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito off the court.
Changing the Rules
Biden’s reaction is akin to trashing the game when the outcome isn’t favorable. Rather than upholding the law, he seeks to change the rules to suit his agenda.
While this legislation is unlikely to pass, it symbolizes the erosion of the rule of law under Biden’s administration.
