During an interview on “Fox News Sunday” with Shannon Bream, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch addressed Joe Biden’s proposed changes to the Supreme Court.
When questioned about Biden’s plans to revamp the judiciary, Gorsuch refrained from discussing what he considered a “political issue” during an election year.
Nevertheless, he underscored the significance of upholding an independent judiciary, particularly for individuals under government scrutiny.
In his comments, Gorsuch stressed the crucial role of an independent judiciary and jury in protecting individual rights from government challenges.
He underscored the importance of a fair legal process for American citizens and urged careful consideration when addressing this issue.
Joe Biden and Vice President Harris have been promoting term limits, a code of conduct, and limits on presidential immunity for Supreme Court justices.
Gorsuch also voiced concerns about the abundance of laws in the United States, warning that an excess could lead to inadvertent violations by well-intentioned citizens.
Pointing out the difficulties Americans encounter when navigating intricate legal systems, Gorsuch recounted instances where citizens unintentionally breached laws due to their complexity.
He recounted stories of Americans grappling with tax-related matters, emphasizing the complications arising from an overabundance of laws.
Regarding conflicts between government branches, Gorsuch emphasized the utmost importance of upholding the Constitution as the ultimate guide.
He also highlighted the need to build trust among Americans and suggested that not every issue requires government intervention, promoting a sense of community responsibility.
