Notable that Bob Bauer, the same longtime advisor who did prep for the poor debate, was the co-chair of the failed Supreme Court reform commission. Bauer helped kill SCOTUS reform efforts back in 2021. Enough. Get Bauer out and get Biden court advisors that understand what we are up against. 1/
I know Joe Biden has bigger fish to fry right now, but I am thinking once again about his choice to form a Supreme Court reform commission that included no proponents of Supreme Court expansion, which (surprise!) quickly concluded that Supreme Court expansion was off the table

Bauer has been a problem for a long time. Here’s from before the debate: bsky.app/profile/prot...
Ok, so I guess we’re talking about Bob Bauer. Bottom line: don’t buy his BS to Peter Baker. He was always a “norms” person. See thread. But first: Haha my sources are impeccable. My post at 3:57pm today: let’s talk about Bob Bauer. Peter Baker, NYT, 8pm today: … let’s talk about Bob Bauer.

Bauer also argued for leaving DOJ and Garland alone, even as Garland screwed up the Hur, Jack Smith, Trump documents, and Hunter Biden cases. x.com/protecttruth...

Compare what Bob Bauer told Biden, above, to what John Roberts says today. The President should not control DOJ cases. But the entirety of Bauer’s work shows he is way out of his depth. And he is Biden’s TOP legal advisor. Bauer has been holding back a real SCOTUS fight. bsky.app/profile/nycs...
Chief Justice Roberts decrees the end of DOJ independence in an offhanded sentence on page 20.

He really should know without needing an advisor to tell him. I mean, he should know. God we’re screwed.

He picked Bob for the job of killing court reform. Biden.isnt unaware of the people he's hired. This is the world he wants to live in.
