Sen. Warren Says Supreme Court is ‘Actively Undermining Our Democracy,’ Floats Sweeping Reforms

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) questioned the credibility of the U.S. Supreme Court Sunday — while suggesting that sweeping reforms could be imminent.

In an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union, the Massachusetts senator previewed President Joe Biden’s forthcoming proposal to reform the high court.

“We’re working on changes to the Supreme Court,” Warren said. “It can be term limits. It could be adding the number of justices, things we can do without having to have a constitutional amendment.”

Warren cited the Supreme Court’s ruling in the presidential immunity case brought by former President Donald Trump as a primary reason why reform is needed. She also accused the Court of “actively undermining our Democracy” — which has become a common refrain from progressives who have not just criticized individual decisions, but attacked the legitimacy of the institution.

“We also have to change our Supreme Court, because right now we have a Supreme Court that has basically jumped the guardrails and is out there giving power to the president, saying that the president can commit any act that the president wants, saying that Congress cannot authorize agencies to act,” Warren said. “So we’ve got a Supreme Court that is actively undermining our democracy.”

Biden is expected to roll out his proposal on Monday.
