The Spin

Republican narrative

These reports of a shocking, last-ditch effort to manipulate the court to be more favorable to the president's radical progressive agenda are unsurprising. Now that Biden is facing discontent in his own party, he has promised to politicize the court to appease the progressive wing of the party. The Democrats are inching dangerously close to destroying judicial independence entirely.

Democratic narrative

SCOTUS has taken a hard-right turn in the past few years, and it is high time for someone to step in and correct this. Polling shows that a majority of Americans have lost trust in the court, which makes it incumbent on Congress to step in and reverse that worrying trend and end the blatant partisanship and untouchability of the justices. An ethics code with teeth is the least that can be done.
