JONATHAN TURLEY: Biden's veto of Judges Act makes him a craven partisan, not a Framer
Fox News
Law Professor Jonathan Turley rejects April Ryan's claim that President Joe Biden was George Washington-like when he vetoed the Judges Act. With tens of thousands of federal cases backlogged, we need more judges, not partisan politics.
In vetoing the act, Biden once again shredded any claim to being a president who could put the public interest ahead of petty political interests. Jonathan Turley is a Fox News Media contributor and the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University. He is the author of "The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage" (Simon & Schuster, June 18, 2024).
When the MSNBC host noted that The Judges Act "had bipartisan support" and was needed to relieve the overloaded courts, Ryan responded by saying that an obstructionist partisan move is precisely what the Framers would have wanted:
"It’s simple. This President Joe Biden, didn’t want to give President-elect Donald Trump a chance to add more conservatism into our courts, bottom line. I mean, you have so many people talking about how everything is weighed down right now. The White House on January 20 at noon will be Republican, the House, the Senate, what? Republican and the Supreme Court leans Republican. So this president wanted to ensure checks and balances.
