Biden's new normal is trashing American norms

The second norm is forbearance, which the authors define as “restraint in the exercise of power.” Here’s where Biden is failing magnificently. “Think about what the president can do under the Constitution,” Levisky told NPR’s Fresh Air in 2018. “The president can pack the Supreme Court. If the president has a majority in Congress—which many presidents do—and the president doesn't like the makeup of the Supreme Court, he could pass a law expanding the court to 11 or 13 and fill [it] with allies—again, he needs a legislative majority—but can do it. FDR tried.” Pack the Supreme Court? Who would want to try that sort of obvious power grab again? Oh yeah. Biden just launched a commission to investigate that, and four Democrats reportedly plan to introduce legislation to add four Supreme Court seats, which would give Democrats a 7-6 majority. And speaking of Orwellian language, the other day Rep. Jerry Nadler had the audacity to call this idea “unpacking” the court.
