Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch issued a stern warning about President Joe Biden’s proposals to reform the court system, which many have described as a desperate effort to thwart the conservative majority.

Justice Gorsuch, appointed by President Donald Trump in 2017, declined to comment on specific proposals like age limits but cautioned against hindering the judiciary’s independence during a Sunday interview with Fox News Sunday with anchor Shannon Bream.

You are not in a bubble here at the courts. There are real world events happening. … How does the court feel about potential changes, term limits, ethics codes that are enforced by someone in ways that it isn’t now?” Bream asked.

In response, Gorsuch said, “Shannon, you’re not going to be surprised that I’m not going to get into what is now a political issue during a presidential election year. I don’t think that would be helpful.”

He added, “I have one thought to add, it is that the independent judiciary … means that when you’re unpopular, you can get a fair hearing under the law and under the Constitution.

Gorsuch emphasized that the judiciary’s role is to protect Americans’ rights against government persecution.

“Don’t you want a ferociously independent judge and a jury of your peers to make those decisions? Isn’t that your right as an American? And so, I just say be careful,” Gorsuch concluded.

Gorsuch appeared on Fox News to promote his new book, Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law, where he scolds the unprecedented growth of laws and regulations in the U.S.

His remarks came less than a week after Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris announced a “ bold plan” to reform the Supreme Court and “ensure no president is above the law.”

The proposed changes include abolishing presidential immunity, imposing term limits on justices and radically reforming ethics codes.

These changes are seen as a direct challenge to President Donald Trump and the six conservative justices currently on the bench.

Last month, the court ruled that Trump enjoyed presidential immunity from prosecution, reaffirming long-standing legal theories and angering the Democratic Party.

The proposed ethics code appears to target Justice Clarence Thomas, who faced criticism from ProPublica for allegedly failing to disclose gifts from friends. ProPublica is a leftist organization claiming to be a news organization.

California Is Clearing Homeless Encampments—but Don’t Expect That To Affect Home Values

In a sweeping move, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered state agencies to dismantle homeless encampments—but, it will have only a marginal effect on increasing home values, experts say. The order applies specifically to state agencies and the Department of Transportation, but it gives Newsom leeway to withhold state funds from city and local governments
