'Or what?': Experts snap back at Neil Gorsuch after he tells Biden to 'be careful'

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch recently issued a warning to Joe Biden regarding the president's efforts to reform the nation's high court, leading political onlookers to ask, "Or what?"

Gorsuch recently pushed back against Biden's recent proposals to restructure the Supreme Court, reportedly saying, "I just say: Be careful."

“The independent judiciary … What does it mean to you as an American?” Gorsuch asked. “It means that when you’re unpopular, you can get a fair hearing.”

The comments didn't sit well with some online.

More like bought and paid for with gifts (after decisions are made, because if given before, the gifts could be considered as bribes).

Gorsuch was nominated to gut government regulatory agencies, so he should be able profit handsomely in the near future as SCOTUS is close to deciding nothing at all can be regulated unless the legislature passes the specific case by case regulations.

He is full of hubris. A snob. A privileged spoiled brat who lives in a bubble along with other men just like him. He is particularly offensive.

Neil Gorsuch does not even deserve to be on the SCOTUS. Never forget that his was a stolen seat where Moscow Mitch McConnell made up a brand new rule out of whole cloth saying that in a President's final term in office, he can't fill a Supreme Court Vacancy. So he kept this seat open until a reality Game Show host, aided by the Russian government according to all of the Intelligence agencies, lost the popular vote, and once in office appointed Gorsuch to fill the seat. Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett should not even be on the court (Barrett was a violation of McConnell's 2016 brand new "rule" when he jammed her on to the court days before the 2020 Presidential election). Ironically, Kavanaugh should've been Trump's only pick. This is why the SCOTUS needs to be expanded (Biden's proposed term limits is a good start-but ultimately 13 justices would be a better fit than nine).

...in his confirmation hearing. You can make the case that with Orange Julius Caesar losing the popular vote, aided by the Russian Govt., Kavanaugh should have an asterisk next to his name as well. This court should be 5-4 progressive, not 6-3 MAGA.

I know Joe wouldn't do it......but if I was Prez, GorSUCK would never see the light of day again.

follow his own advice. Voters are increasingly getting fed up with MAGA'S shit.

As I can recall, when Texas didn't like a SC ruling on immigration a while back, they simply chose to ignore it.
