If you listened to the most recent meeting of President Biden’s Commission on the Supreme Court and knew nothing prior, the liberal “scholars” would have you convinced that the Supreme Court is hated by all Americans.  The reality is that the Judicial Branch is the most popular branch of the United State Government.  The real purpose of Biden's Judicial Commission is to undermine the judiciary's popularity and to further intimidate the current Supreme Court.  As Dan McLaughlin writes in National Review Online:

The Court-packing debate has cooled off for a while since prominent Democrats introduced legislation in April to pack the Court with new justices for nakedly partisan and ideological purposes. Democrats are happy to move the question offstage. Court-packing is a massively unpopular and dangerous proposal, just as it was in 1937. At the moment, Democrats don’t have the votes in the Senate to break a filibuster, and they do not appear to have 50 votes for passage, either. But they have not abandoned the implied threat that they might bring it back if they get a bigger Senate majority or if the Supreme Court does something they dislike enough.

On Friday, the RNLA announced its opposition to the nomination of Myrna Pérez to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in a letter to Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin and Ranking Member Chuck Grassley. Her nomination was part of President Joe Biden's fourth slate of judicial nominees. Pérez is currently the director of the Brennan Center's Voting Rights and Elections Program. The Brennan Center is a progressive organization that routinely opposes commonsense election laws.

Biden's Border Crisis has reached an all-time high. To add to the chaos, Axios reported earlier this week that the Biden Administration has released 50,000 people who crossed the southern border illegally without giving them a court date. Unsurprisingly, only 13% of them have reported to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office like they were directed to.

The CDC issued new guidance yesterday recommending that everyone in K-12 schools wear a mask indoors – including teachers, staff, students and visitors – regardless of vaccination status. As schools consider the new guidance and whether to require students to wear masks, Republican governors across the country lined up to fight for parents' choice on the matter as their children return to school this fall. 

On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing titled, "The Need to Enhance the Voting Rights Act: Practice-Based Coverage." Practice-based coverage/preclearance is not currently part of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and would be implemented as part of H.R.4.

On Friday, July 16, a federal judge in Texas suspended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. As reported by National Review:

Biden's crime crisis has reached Washington Democrats' backyard. It's always been there, but now the violence is overflowing into areas where D.C.'s political class spend their time. On Thursday night, 2 were wounded in a shooting that erupted on a busy street in Washington D.C. during dinner time. Last Saturday, 3 more were injured in a shooting that took place outside of Nationals Park. The sad reality is that there have been more than 100 homicides in our nation's capital this year including a 6 year-old girl killed this past weekend.

On this day in 1937, the Senate put an end to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's court packing plan. Commentary from The Heritage Foundation explains:

Many Americans may have heard about how President Franklin Roosevelt’s proposed court-packing scheme failed in the 1930s. During Roosevelt’s first term, the Supreme Court struck down several laws enacted to address the Great Depression because they exceeded Congress’ power.

In case you missed it, another Democrat magically switched positions on voter ID. This time it was the third in charge House Democrat, James Clyburn. As recent as last year, Clyburn called requiring voters to present ID, "voter suppression."

On Tuesday, the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States held its third meeting and 2nd round of hearings since being formed by President Joe Biden earlier this year. The meeting consisted of 6 panels of experts that commissioners questioned about various proposals for changes to the Court.  This one was much more partisan then the first two with progressive panelists making outrageous claims.  However, Harvard Professor Stephen Sachs summed up the commission well:

The public will see through efforts to recast court-packing as “court expansion,” jurisdiction-stripping as “jurisdiction channeling,” and so on. It will see through efforts to pursue short-term partisan payback under the guise of long-term reform. And because legitimacy is a two-way street, reforms that are not perceived by both sides as enhancing the courts’ legitimacy will never succeed in doing so.
