Gorsuch has stern message when asked about Biden Supreme Court proposals: 'Be careful'

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch had little to say when asked about President Biden's proposals to overhaul the Supreme Court, but he did deliver a brief message.

When asked by "Fox News Sunday" host Shannon Bream about Biden's suggestions for changes to the Supreme Court, Gorsuch said he did not want to get into "what is now a political issue during a presidential election year." He then continued, however, stressing the importance of an "independent judiciary," particularly for those who are unpopular.

"It's there for the moments when the spotlight's on you, when the government's coming after you. And don't you want a ferociously independent judge and a jury of your peers to make those decisions? Isn't that your right as an American?" Gorsuch said. "And so I just say, be careful."

Biden and Vice President Harris are calling on Congress to impose term limits and a code of conduct on the Supreme Court while also drafting limits on presidential immunity, a White House official said in late July.
