Biden Is Wrong. The Supreme Court Is Already “Politicized.” (jacobin.com)

President Biden said he won’t expand the Supreme Court because doing so would “politicize” the court in an unhealthy way. But it’s a political institution by its nature — and a disturbingly undemocratic one.

The focus should be on the second part of the heading, rather than "Biden wrong."

Who cares if any of his comments can be technically found incorrect compared to the cultural damage corrupt, out-of-touch right-wing extremists are inflicting on the US because of an outdated judicial system.

He shouldn't expand the supreme court because the justices are spitefully making decisions and setting precedent that go against the majority values of americans.

Fine, this other old guy said the wrong reason for him doing the right thing. Not that important compared with the basic human rights conservative zealots are flushing down the toilet.
