Dems Have An Axe To Grind With Supreme Court After Getting Knocked Down In Multiple Cases, Alan Dershowitz Says

In 2022, the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, and upheld Mississippi’s ban on most abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy Friday in a 6-3 ruling. That year, the high court also struck down New York’s concealed carry law requiring “good cause” to issue a license to carry a firearm outside one’s home and ruled that the exclusion of religious schools from a government voucher program was unconstitutional.

In the Supreme Court’s term that ended July 1, in addition to ruling that presidents had immunity from prosecution for official acts, it also overturned what was known as “Chevron deference,” which required courts to defer to interpretations of law by regulatory agencies and ruled that fines imposed by administrative law judges violated the Seventh Amendment. The court also held that the Justice Department wrongly used a statutory provision to prosecute participants in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol building.

Earlier, Dershowitz said that the term limits would be struck down as unconstitutional, accusing Biden and Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe of seeking a “campaign issue.”

“You can’t create term limits. I’m actually in favor of term limits,” Dershowitz said. “If I were rewriting the Constitution, I would probably say judges and justices should serve 15 years, 18 years, 20 years, 10 is too short, 25 is too long, somewhere in between, I would support that. I think that makes sense.”

“But the constitution has a specific provision in it. It says that justices shall serve during good behavior,” Dershowitz continued. “Those are the words of the Constitution, which means, until they resign, retire, or they die, and that’s been what’s happened since 1793, but Laurence tribe and his student Biden think you can change all that legislatively. No, you can’t, you have to do it by constitutional amendment.”
