Senator Mike Lee is Wrong on High Court Amendment


Mike Lee suggests President Biden's proposde amendment to the Constitution will "deligitimitize" the Supreme Court. I think not. The High Court is not deligitimitized just because you put it back in its own lane. It has been taking over more and more power and needs to be reeled in and put back in check. Lee also suggests Congress doesn't have authority to establish ethics rules for another branch of government. I disagree with Lee on the process. Constitutional amendments can start in Congress, but they have to go through the states. Also of note, the Constitution does not place the High Court in the process. So, Lee is wrong if he is suggesting ethics standards can only come from the court itself.
