Trump personally dictated the new RNC language on abortion and gay marriage. His team put the delegates in a room, took their phones, and Trump said you're going to pass this and you're going to do it quickly.

So, the Biden administration doing an about-face on gender surgery and the ludicrous Supreme Court "reform" ideas in the span of what, two weeks, isn't an attempt to pander to his terminally online laptop-class base? Jfc.

How is wanting to reform the supreme court extreme, what exactly is extreme about term limits?

Propose a constitutional amendment then. The three branches are co-equal, pizza, you have to recognize that.
Also, it was very obviously an attempt to shore up donor base support following the debate considering Biden himself had fricking dropped the issue two years ago after his own commission wrote back to him.

what is extreme about wanting term limits on the supreme court? Be specific.

Well, again, you can't do it by legislation, so that's being disingenous at the threshold. However, the primary reason is the same as the Framers' rationale: it insulates the judiciary from political and popular pressure. You just disagree with the outcomes of several cases, which is fine, so be it. But applying any other kind of standard other than life tenure for the judiciary is simply asking for the Court to become what Democrats have always thought it was for them: a super-legislature.
Propose an amendment though if you're serious, otherwise you know it's naked pandering.

you can insulate the judiciary from popular pressure and also have term limits lmao.
When the framers wrote these rules lifespans were not as long my guy. It made sense in that context, it no longer makes a lot of sense when you can have 90 year olds sitting on the supreme court that were put there when they were 40.
If anything the extreme position is thinking nothing can ever be changed, the context of when the rules were written cannot be considered.

also clearly he is doing the opposite of pandering to the christ cucks by telling them that marriage is gay and abortions are gonna stay legal.
