ADF to President Biden: Don't politicize the Supreme Court

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom CEO, President, and General Counsel Kristen Waggoner regarding President Joe Biden’s U.S. Supreme Court reform proposals as outlined in his opinion piece published Monday in The Washington Post:

“Our nation is founded on the rule of law and depends on a judiciary free from political coercion. For this reason, our Founders separated power into three branches, one of which is an independent judiciary. President Biden’s proposal to ‘reform’ the Supreme Court undermines this essential principle. Under the guise of protecting democracy, he would politicize and discredit the court by placing it firmly under the thumb of the political branches. And he would do so, ironically, because of his dissatisfaction with decisions by the court that defend separation of powers but that he disagrees with on political grounds. Don’t be fooled. This move by President Biden has nothing to do with protecting the court and has everything to do with the Left’s desire to dominate every institution in society. And today that means launching political broadside attacks on our independent judiciary. Those attacks must be rejected.”
