Biden to Veto Bipartisan Judicial Reform Bill
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Last week, Congress passed the JUDGES Act, a bipartisan bill that would create 60+ new federal judgeships. Proponents of the legislation say the bill would help alleviate case backlogs in courts across the country. However, President Biden said he would veto the bill. Why? Marc Elias and Paige Moskowitz discuss.

We don't need to assist fascism. Im alright with Biden vetoing this now.
Only thing I’m afraid of is republicans doing this one sidedly by getting rid of the filibuster.
A recount and investigation is MINIMUMN DUE DILLIGENCE without which said Dems, Biden, Harris (THE REAL PRESIDENT ELECT FOR CHRISSAKES!!!) and the left and liberal media will be disgustingly complicit in bringing about the Trump dictatorship and the end of democracy!!!!! HOW ABOUT DOING THEIR SWORN JOB AND ENFORCING THE CONSTITUTION’S FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT BARRING INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP FROM OFFICE??? NO PROBLEMS FROM THE SCOTUS WHEN THE ROGUE JUDGES ARE DULY DETAINED AND HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DIVERSE CRIMES!!!! BARRING THIS MINIMUM OF DUE DILLIGENCE THERE WILL BE NO FUTURE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY - OR DEMOCRACY FOR THAT MATTER - ONLY A PUTIN-STYLE TRUMP DICTATORSHIP!!!!!
You wouldn't be saying that if you were a defendant in a federal criminal case sitting in jail because there aren't enough judges to see all the cases coming before them
@@gregorycolonescu6059 No one is going to get rid of the filibuster
@zacharyhenderson2902 yes, any antifascist patriotic american would say this.
Now is not the time. VETO is best action.
Lmao. If this isn't a good time, there literally is never a good time.
If the only time it's a good time is when one party is in power, then it shouldn't happen.
100%
Good! They waited to pass it until it benefitted trump. The bill is not necessary.
It is necessary. More federal judges are needed. But the Republicans want to use it as an axe to cut away at the last bits of democracy in the US. That's why they all of a sudden changed their mind after Trump won the election. Their thinking is so obvious, they're practically translucent.
@@Kari.F. The trouble is, until they remove the partisanship from the judges and the appointment process, it's all just tidying the deck chairs on the Titanic.
good. block from trump!!!
@@pinkdog12
What do you mean?
@@neilbiggs1353 Not if biden puts it in the paper shredder to make a point.
I'm with Biden on this . Do not need more Christian nationalist Qanon judges. Block it!
They will just wait and do it under trump, this is to make Biden look bad, nothing more.
Google search your congressperson and senator, use the contact tab, especially if you live in a red distrct. Let them know your thoughts. Posting on social media does nothing.
The Christian Natialist or Evangelical religions did not exist or contribute anything to the do with the building orfounding of the USA or writing our USA Constitution
Contact your representatives and senators. Social media comments do nothing.
I agree 💯
"Republicans have been playing games" alright but not just with judges, with our lives 🤬
Resist, resist, resist!
Funny, given your party as well for over 100 years.
@@absolstoryoffiction6615 Is this the new propaganda line this month? Idk who would’ve handled Reaganomics or the dismantling of the Great Society, or the end of the Cold War, or the War in Iraq/War on Terror… Clinton wasn’t a lib he was moderate conservative… it’s just not what happened. At least think about who has typically had to fight for power in this country. Did you even watch the video? We still have judges from the Reagan presidency. Conservatives are NOT and have never been the outsider antidote to anything thing -especially when they pretend to be the populist party. Just because we accept gay people more doesn’t mean the world was controlled by democrats for 500 years lmfao The arts are always more socially “liberal” which is not the same as the political faction in this country. That idea is just wrong, I’m sorry. Unless of course you mean to say the fascists have finally given liberty a good left hook to the jaw, then yea, this is unprecedented.
I agree with President Joe Biden. Veto, veto veto.
They can do their own work for a change.
They call him Backlog biden lmao the courts are so slow 👌 and it's frankly disgusting can you believe this? 🫴 I will make huge beautiful federal judges, so many you say wow that's a beautiful judge
More Cannons? No thanks.
Really! That chic is embarrassing. She Does not deserve such a high office. She's so bad, I could see her being arrested in the future.
I was going to say, Cannon is the poster child for bad Republican judge picks.
Why because she refused to convert her courtroom to the banana republic?? 😂I sure am happy that you tyrants will never win another election for at least 2-3 cycles
@@InfiniteLynn...and Judge Thomas!
Totally with you. Why can't we remove that partisan asset from the bench? Legal malpractice!
President Biden should thwart the agenda of the gop in every way possible!!!
I wouldn't mind if the GOP existed. It's gone. Republicans are the fear laden group that is afraid of the nutjobs in Maga. They have been shackled.
and that's exactly what this move does.
Strongly, loudly, publically.
What GOP? Magats are what you get when "reality TV" fans get together. At least the GOP was for fair trade and against communist expansion.
Biden must stop being so nice. He should just lock Trump up now with the presidential immunity he was given.
Donald Trump will appoint all sixty three. We don't need more Aileen Cannons.
The People of the United States need the power of impeachment by majority and conviction. There are far too many cowardly, bad actors in our government.
Trump was eluding to Ailern Cannon he would pit her on Atorney General because of her knowing b4 the pseudo king. As usual it seems, he has no use for her any more.she did her job. " Your fired is my guess his Mantra. What a devilish boy child. Reminds me of early Star Trek, the child having tantrums running his world.
Sorry for spelling
Trump was alluding to Aileen Cannon he would make her AG. His favorite phrase , Your fired.

I PRAY BIDEN vetoes it!
It won't do any good.
@@sassysaint3096 Why not? Biden is vetoing it.
@@sassysaint3096 they don't have 2/3rd majority to override it. So it definitely would and will do something.
Even if he does, it will come through again, America really screwed themselves this time, when Trump hits Office there will be 63 more Republican federal judges.
Yeah, we don't need 60 more Trump appointed judges. This can wait.
60 more Aileen Cannons?! Eeooh 😬
Old bastard should have SO appointed 13 or so Supreme Court justices. 😤
@@rnrpeg1 If Biden appointed enough to take it to 13, Trump would likely have appointed enough to take it to 51 and overload it in his favour
The problem is that they'll just start over again and trump will sign
@@itsknotmagic Maybe not - I believe that they'll have to start the legislation over again so it may take a while even bringing it to the floor of congress and it may be a low priority

Lol. You came up 2.5 million short in the popular vote. And got absolutely slaughtered in the electoral vote.
So resist away
@@FauxQue-yk8dtLOL - there are a few intelligent conservatives who now are having buyers remorse about putting a fascist in the White House.
This last election is as fishy as they come. Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and lost both the popular and electoral votes in 2020. 2024 was stolen from Harris with the help of Russia no doubt. Trump is a fascist and you voted for a fascist! Get lost!

Thank you, Marc. Thank you, Paige.
Thank you for this content. I’m glad Joe is not rewarding bad behavior. I’m almost as sick of republicans as I am of the orange menace. 🇺🇸
I'm sicker of them. Them and their voters are why trump is in power again.
Republicans and Trumpists are the same people. Democrats keep fumbling this by trying to say the two are different groups. Cheney voted with Trump over 90% of the time. It's the same. Libs just don't care about anything enough to actually want reform and progress; they're too status quo. When status quo doesn't progress it regresses which is what conservatives want.
he appointed a judge who cannot define a woman.
The GOP is the petri dish in which Trumpty Dumpty evolved. They are every bit as stained and corrupt as the Cheeto Christ. Stopping them only helps America!
Where are the reforms to remove the partisanship from the judiciary? Every other democracy manages it to some degree or another. There is no point expanding courts when this basic conflict of interest is so prevalent.
...and blatant.
This is capitalism, baby. Our courts exist to protect the billionaire class from the working class. Conflict of interest? Corruption? Capitalism.
Hail to the king baby! @ElyonDominus
Maybe if endless appeals weren't allowed (trump), the backlog would be lessened.
That’s part of the tactics.
💯 Couldn’t agree more!
@@lindaknox5982 Troll
Maybe if one political party didn’t attack the opposing candidate with trumped up charges the backlog would be lessened. Every criminal case against Trump will be over turned or thrown out. The Democrat party tried turning our Country into a banana republic. It back fired.
@@Eeyore_Woodsyea screw due process
In Australia Judges must retire once they reach 70 years of age. This is much better than the system in the USA. The appointments are also non-political, a much better system. If Tulsi is appointed then England, Canada, Germany, Poland, France, Italy, Ukraine and Australia will no longer share information with the USA as they know that this information will go straight to pUtin.
While not sharing any information is good. Sharing information that will mislead the put is even better. Use the orange to your advantage in this case.
Isolate the US!
We are more transparent in Australia and these types of cabinet picks would never get security clearance to work in Canberra.
Americans don't like "regulations" and so "govt. interference" in their lives, on the whole, so won't be told when to retire, etc. Our Dad told me, years ago, that "the Puritans originally left England, because they wouldn't be told what to do." The saddest example, is the horrific slaughter of tiny children, etc. in their schools, over and over again, because they won't (on the whole), be told not to have war weaponry on their streets! It's a different mentality to ours.
I can see America no longer being the leader of the free world. I suspect China will become more world dominant. I see Russia taking over Europe also. Trump and his minions will enrich themselves and everyday Americans will live like everyday Russians with very very little.
I blurted out “no sh*t” when she said judges should have term limits. LONG overdue!
Credit to Joe Biden for using his strength and knowledge to hold on to democracy for four years under extremely difficult times.
Go Joe! Oppose!
We have a shortage of Federal Judges that AREN'T in king frumpo's pocket.
No....? Cause they're in BIDEN SOPRANO'S POCKETS?
@@lindaknox5982 You aren't looking too bright. Biden is blocking an expansion of judges, he isn't appointing them. Additionally, judges appointed by Biden are qualified and do not have a history of far right extremism and favoritism toward Democrats. Whereas actual bias is clearly present in the far right judges like Aileen Cannon who literally ran afoul of her fellow judges for her outright unacceptable protection of Trump. Biden never had to sit in front of a judge that he himself appointed. Not least of the reasons why is that he never committed a major crime, so never had to sit in front of a Judge. Lastly, Biden was not convicted of 34 counts of FELONY FRAUD, let alone in civil court of sexual assault.

Fabulous explanation on President Biden's decision to veto, Certainly l agree with him.
Thank you
Veto is a normal presidential activity... unlike hush money payments, fraud, inciting riots, stealing/concealing top secret documents and attempting prevent the succession of the office to the newly elected president.
That just means the republicans will resubmit it once Trump is in office and they have the ability to pass it and appoint their own judges. Biden should pass it, and then fast track the appointments over the next month before Trump takes office
Forget it. I'm sick of Repugs in general. Blocking everything unless it benefits their partisanship.
We need are competent judges. With Trump you would end up with 60+ judges like Judge Cannon of Florida
That is who we are going to end up with despite Biden's veto, republicans will just send it back to trump.
Please explain what Biden did about:
Thousand of U.S Judges Who Broke laws or Oaths Remain on The Bench.
Biden DOJ when to the supreme courts to support police in fighting to allow police to abuse citizens Miranda Rights. And this content creator sits silent. How is he not a hypocrite in his silence?.

Both parties stink but the Republicans are significantly worse.
Grateful for all you're doing at least someone is actually fighting.
It’s a losing battle, once Trump gets into office. They’ll just pass it again.
From my mother: So the Bipartisan Judicial Reform Act was a good idea on principle, but when self-serving men that lack principles would be using it to their own advantage, President Biden, after 50 years as a public servant, knew it was prudent to use his authority to veto it. So bill was good idea, just the timing was wrong. Thanks Joe, for keeping a lid on the weasel den as long as u have, and for us long as u can. 💙💪🇺🇲 Thanks Mark for always clearing the smokescreen, bringing to light the machinations of the weasel den and making their motivations understandable. If real weasels could unite, they would have a massive class action lawsuit for defamation of character :) But the metaphorical weasels have no character to defame!
We're behind you President Biden. If not now, when will justice be upheld? Not after this presidency
Will stay behind him and smell his behind because he's out of our White House in January 20th 20 25
Obama was not a fighter. He did not fight for Garland, and Garlana a disappointment as DOJ

@@eliju-io2mwAnd a worse “human being”, if that’s what people think of him, will come in and undo everything good that Biden did for the country and you BOZO’S didn’t believe it at the time, you weren’t listening like you should have. Remember when DJT came in and dismantled all the Covid offices around the world, especially the one in China, it could have been stopped a lot sooner if DJT hadn’t messed up and dismantled all the Covid office in the world, what a stupid thing for any president to do to their own country, just to spite the Obama administration who he still hates to this day. Crybabies never learn because they refuse to grow up and do what’s best for everyone in this country and around the world!
Thank you, President Biden and thank you Mark! We the People who disparage this blatant manipulation by the Republicans are so thankful for your ever-watchful eye on the bad actors in our government. 💙
Beautifully said❤
By strange coincidence, they don't pass it until after Trump becomes the guy to fill them.
Exactly. Unfortunately, I'm sure they will try it again soon after Jan 20

Glad to hear.
If we could trust Trump appointed judges to actually follow the law I would be all for the bill. However, it is obvious that they pick judges based on their politics and not knowledge and adherence to the laws of this country. It would be a disaster to allow this to go through.
you mean like Biden's judges. if you would have kept your party in check this wouldn't be happening.
Judges, justices, no more lifetime appointments. 10 years in place, then you must move up. If you can not move up, you move out. This would be mandatory..
That will take care of most crooked people in the judiciary.
Sorry, I agree with Biden, not when Trump is about to enter office, wrong time.

Of course Biden should veto it, but it's a safe bet that Republicans will get it through next session.
Judge shopping should be outlawed
Would have been nice if Biden had passed the bill and then fast tracked all those new judgeships and confirmed them before January.
Congress adjourns Friday
Biden can NOT pass bills! That is done through the Congress. The President can only sign a bill or veto a bill AFTER the House & Senate pass a bill. That's why every President needs a majority in the House & Senate to pass legislation. Biden could NOT sign the bill because Repubs tied up the bill until AFTER the election so djt could appoint fascist judges.
Impossible which is why the maga brought it forward now.
Great explanations! Thanks for all your hard work.
Term limits or age limits
Or both!
Thank you for pushing Democracy reporting! You are NOT alone on the top of the mountain. 140 million eligible voters did not vote! 20% of voters were UNDECLARED in party!
Nothing wrong with being "undeclared" partywise. NOT VOTING is a major problem and irresponsible.
Thank you for the subject discussion and for getting into the weeds, so to speak. Deep!! 🌊
ALL of the federal judges need a term limit. No one should be a free ticket in for life.
One group is shopping for the the forces of evil..
And the other is trying to expand the judiciary
Is there a reason why the supreme court only hears a certain amount of cases a year and why these justices drag out reaching decisions on the cases they hear? Is the supreme court pretending to be busy golfing or taking time off. The length decisions making and hearing cases doesn't add up. Perhaps they should be paid only on a case by case basis in the reasonable time frame any case should take in order to give the public their rights
For real, it's a lifetime appointment, and hearing cases is their ONLY JOB. They don't research or write most of their own opinions. That's what clerks are for. So they just work approximately 3 hours a week, and do "thinking" for the rest of the time. It's ridiculous. I understand some cases are more important than others, but they definitely could do more. I will say that more judges will allow more cases to be heard and decided on, but so would not being lazy lol
@tylerhendrix7550 Personally myself I feel the current number should deal with more cases and more quickly and their time given to their working time should be increased to work on current and more cases to be heard and resolved more speedily that way if the number of justices is increased the new justices should not allow themselves be affected by the current justices this would allow more time to concentrate on term limits, accountability and other necessary changes needed
Too busy getting bribes from billionaires sadly
LOL@ BUT DEMOCRATE HAVE PUT A TERM LIMIT AT 8 YEARS FOR A FIRST MANDATE AFTER THEY GET 18 YEARS IF THEY DO THEIR JOB WELL@
Veto this stupid bill!!!!!! VETO BY ALL MEANS!!!!!
Veto it.
I am so impressed by your explanations, legal expertise and integrity. Thanks for all that you do Marc. Keep up the good work and fight. We need attorneys like you fighting for democracy and the future of this country. I sleep better at night when I watch one of your videos. Here's to you!

Very impressive reporting 👍
Sounds like our President is doing what he can before our life is over. Thanks Joe
The entire judicial system is now 100percent political.
He could have not ran for a second term like he said. He could have cut weapons to Israel. He could have fired Garland. Seems like he's done nothing important.
Go for it and keep going Joe! 😅
Based on his performance as Attorney General, I don't believe Merrick Garland would have made a great supreme court justice.
Indeed. Horrible AG. If he would have done his job the Geriatric General would be in prison.

Why would Biden not be able to nominate these 63 judges before January 3? There is 2 weeks left.
Edit: for all clarity, this is a snark to Mitch McConnell.
Thank you for keeping us updated
When laws are broken and the systems are controlled and enforced by criminals who escape justice who needs more judges ?
Thank you, Mr. Elias, I agree !
He should do it, and fill the spots quixkly before Trump does
If he could, he should. I don't know if there's a way to do that without having to negotiate with Congress.

President Biden, Please make America great again by giving those necessary orders to the Seal Teams & they need to successfully accomplish quite a few missions, QUICKLY, for our safety & for saving our Republic.
Thanks for the info Marc.
Praise all the good powers that the Democrats see through this damn nonsense from time to time!
They should expand the federal judges but both parties should get equal picks and not just one party takeover judges
Parties shouldn't be involved at all. Judicial branch positions should be completely independent of the influence of the other branches, the fact that politicians pick out judges in this country is insane.
If that was the deal offered at the start it’d be workable. If it had passed quicker though, the bill would have given all the appointments to Biden and there’s no way he would have invoked veto. So there’s been just as much partisan jockeying from both sides on an issue both parties agree needs to be solved. Now that electoral fortunes have turned so Trump would get those appointments instead, this is pretty much a case of sour grapes.
Big time shout-out to you, Mark, AND your team for doing what you all do. Keep up the GREAT WORK!
