Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) expressed concern this week regarding Joe Biden’s intentions to radically transform the U.S. Supreme Court, accusing the 81-year-old Democrat of launching an effort to undermine the institution. The Texas Republican said that by “reform,” Biden means he wants to “destroy” the court in comments made during the latest episode of his “Verdict” podcast.

Discussing Biden‘s Oval Office address Wednesday evening, Cruz told his co-host, Ben Ferguson, “[U]nderstand by the word reform, he means destroy the Supreme Court. What he wants to do is utterly politicize it.” During the national address on July 24, Biden emphasized he intends to spend the final six months he has in office focused on ramping up efforts to fundamentally alter the nature of the high court—including proposals to enact term limits and pack the court with liberal judges.
Cruz referenced former President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s attempt to pack the court with supportive judges. Even though Roosevelt, a Democrat, had large majorities in both Congressional chambers, Democrats in Congress at the time opposed the idea. According to the Texas Senator, lawmakers at that time understood the importance of maintaining an independent court committed to the Constitution and the rule of law.
The Republican Senator, who faces a re-election challenge from Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), said he worries no Democrats are willing to oppose radical changes today. Consequently, he argues that if Kamala Harris becomes President and Democrats gain a narrow margin in the Senate, they would end the filibuster, allowing them to change the composition of the Supreme Court with 50 votes.
Earlier this month, Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez threatened to impeach members of the Supreme Court following a string of rulings against the Biden-Harris government and in favor of former President Donald J. Trump and January 6 defendants.
