WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said the Supreme Court’s legitimacy is being called into doubt, but said he still opposes expanding the bench or other large-scale reforms.
Biden said Thursday it would be a “mistake” to add justices to the Supreme Court because it would “politicize it maybe forever in a way that is not healthy.” The president, however, expressed optimism justices could make changes on their own to improve the court’s standing.
“I think that some of the court are beginning to realize their legitimacy is being questioned in ways that hadn’t been questioned in the past,” Biden said in an MSNBC interview.
