Justice Gorsuch warns that an ‘explosion’ of new laws could hinder our freedoms

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch Responds to Biden’s Radical Plan to “Reform” the Supreme Court. Justice Gorsuch warns that an ‘explosion’ of new laws could hinder Americans’ freedoms | Trump-appointed Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch discussed the downside of having too many federal laws.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News reporter Shannon Bream, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch addressed a radical proposal to overhaul the highest court in the land.

This discussion comes in the wake of Biden’s op-ed published in the Washington Post, where he outlined his vision for a reformed judiciary, claiming it was necessary to uphold the principle that “no one is above the law.”

Biden’s controversial plan follows a Supreme Court decision on July 1 that granted broad immunity to presidents from prosecution for actions taken while in office.

Biden expressed his concern that this ruling could allow future leaders to evade accountability for serious misconduct, including inciting “violence” like that witnessed during the January 6 Capitol events.

Biden’s proposals include imposing term limits on Supreme Court justices—suggesting an 18-year limit—and allowing the sitting president to appoint a new justice every two years, regardless of existing vacancies.

He argued that such measures would prevent any single presidency from drastically reshaping the court’s composition and would bring greater predictability to judicial appointments.

During the interview, Justice Neil Gorsuch also expresses concern about an overabundance of laws and regulations in the U.S., arguing that it hinders American freedoms and individual judgment.

He warns about the rise of a “fourth branch of government” as federal agencies become increasingly powerful and less accountable to the people.

He notes that many criminal laws are not directly created by elected representatives but by agency officials, which can lead to confusion and unintentional violations.

He emphasizes the importance of the Declaration of Independence and the inherent rights of individuals, suggesting that overregulation may undermine those fundamental freedoms.
