Harris is a bigger threat to checks and balances than Trump

Vice President Kamala Harris isn’t just running for president. She is running to turn the checks and balances of our system into a Democratic power loop, which is evidenced by her Supreme Court “reforms.”

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), the Senate’s resident conspiracy theorist when it comes to the Supreme Court, has said Harris has all but endorsed his plan, which would retroactively impose 18-year term limits on Supreme Court justices. That would conveniently remove conservative justices Clarence Thomas next year, John Roberts in 2027, and Samuel Alito in 2029. Whitehouse dubiously claims this can be done by simple congressional majorities, and he and Harris will blame the Supreme Court anyway if it fails and call for court packing.
