Hardly a surprise, that — after two decades of regularly doing so.
Johnson this morning says changing Roberts’ immunity views of this past term would require a “Constitutional amendment.”
Hilarious.
No, Scott. That Supreme Court opinion… could easily be discarded as “wrongly decided”, by an Act of Congress, signed by the next President.
The immunity decision is an “interpretation” of the Constitution, just as Roe v. Wade was, and Dobbs was. Or, as Dred Scott or Plessy v. Ferguson was, to make the finer point.
A subsequent 5-4 Supremes opinion alone could also wipe it, as wrongly decided. [Note the 2021 ruling, at right — from this same Court.]
It is true that these Biden proposals are unlikely to pass… but it is silly that he and Hinderaker give one court opinion such Talmudic permanence.
It is no part of the actual Constitution, so shut it, boys.
Onward.
