President Biden is a Two front political war these days……
One is his campaign against Donald Trump…..
The other is his fight against the media , who want him to quit his job…..
Now he has the Supreme Court adding fire to BOTH of the fights he’s in…
And Biden just went after a court, with Trump’s actions, that has veered strongly to the Right erasing gains made over the last half a century in many things including voting Rights, Abortion Rights, Affirmative Action and Now the power of a President….
“For all practical purposes, today’s decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what the president can do,” Biden said, adding that he pledges “to respect the limits of the presidential powers.”
The president also noted that the decision means that it is “highly unlikely” that Trump would be prosecuted before the election in November, which he called “a terrible disservice to the people of this nation.”
“So now, the American people have to do what the courts should have been willing to do, but will not,” Biden said. “The American people must decide whether Donald Trump’s assault on our democracy on January 6th makes him unfit for public office in the highest office in the land.”….
…
The comments marked a rare rebuke of the justice system for Biden, who has sought to distinguish his presidency by attempting to restore faith in American institutions. But Biden — who, as a senator, was a longtime chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee overseeing Supreme Court nomination hearings — has also found himself at odds with some of its recent decisions, including most prominently the Dobbsdecision that repealed Roe v. Wade and declared there is no constitutional right to an abortion.
“This decision today has continued the court’s attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation, from gutting voting rights and civil rights to taking away a woman’s right to choose,” Biden said in his White House remarks….
…
Toward the end of his remarks, Biden aimed to place the ruling in the context of history, reaching back to the founding of the nation.
“At the outset of our nation, it was the character of George Washington, our first president, to define the presidency. He believed power was limited, not absolute, and that power always resides with the people — always,” Biden said. “Now, over 200 years later today, the Supreme Court decision means that once again, it will depend on the character of the men and women who hold the presidency … because the law will no longer do it.”
He ended with a new line, saying, “May God bless you all. And may God help preserve our democracy.” Then, he added, “May God protect our troops.”
He then left the room, ignoring the shouted questions about the state of his campaign…..
Note…..
At the end of this Washington Post piece we get the comment that Biden did his speech and would NOT stay and feed the press, something he IS paying for in negativity coverage against Trump who provides the media with access and crazy stuff that the media LOVES…
