The Wall Street Journal sharply criticized President Biden's proposals to transform the Supreme Court in an editorial on Monday.

"Mr. Biden says his reform will ‘restore trust and accountability to the court and our democracy,' but it would do the opposite," the editorial board wrote. "The deluge of ethics complaints, amplified by the press and partisans, would leave the public with the impression of routine corruption. This would further undermine respect for the Court’s decisions."

On Monday, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, backed drastic measures for Congress to adopt related to the Supreme Court, including term limits, ethics rules and a constitutional amendment to limit presidential immunity.

"The President is putting the full weight of the Democratic Party behind an assault on judicial independence and the constitutional order," the Journal wrote. "You might call it an attack on democracy."

"The President is giving this proposal an official Democratic Party imprimatur, and Vice President Kamala Harris was quick to endorse the plan on Monday," the Journal wrote. "Its most damaging parts are a threat to pass the next time Democrats control all of the government."

The Wall Street Journal specifically targeted Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., whose proposed ethics bill regarding the Supreme Court has already passed the Senate Judiciary Committee and "would let litigants at the Court file motions for recusal by Justices, whose colleagues could boot them off cases." 

"This would make the Court an adjunct of whatever political atmosphere exists at a given time," the Journal wrote. "The Justices targeted most would be those who issue unpopular opinions, however correct they are on the law or Constitution."

"And what about Republicans?" the Journal asked. "Do they realize the Court’s future is on the ballot this year? Mr. Trump has spoken up in his fashion, but will Senators start explaining what is truly at stake? Maybe JD Vance could stop talking about cat ladies and start talking about the threat the Biden scheme poses to the Court and our constitutional republic."
