Cycling back to the actual thread topic of the Biden administration, I'd like to comment on his "special commission" to study the SC, and specifically why assembling that commission is proof that Biden is not worthy of his office.
Assembling this commission is an act of utter cowardice and abdication of leadership at a time when the country needs it. The question about the supreme court is a purely political matter, something that every legal commentator on every side admits, with the only question being who's politics are right, and that is not a question any committee will answer, they will just feed back the arguments that already exist. That the SC has been far more politicized is something everyone knows, especially Biden because he was the chairmen of the judiciary committee during the Bork hearings when his side started this fight, and he was still around when his party, and specifically Chuck Schumer, escalated it repeatedly, by filibustering Bush's nominees and slow rolling their appointments, repeatedly and openly threatening two SC justices, and pushing for court packing (along with an Orwellian attempt to redefine the term).
Biden has no excuse for being ignorant about this issue's history and causes, and there is nothing the commission can tell him six months from now that's not obvious today, the only value it has is kicking the can down the road and letting him not make any hard choices or alienate his allies for a few more months, something Biden has often done. That sort of behavior is understand in a senator, but it's not acceptable in a a president. If you can't make hard choices and take risks, you don't deserve to to be president.
