Democrats Have a ‘Plan C’ for Their Biden Problem

Joe Biden appears to be in a free fall in the polls, yet he appears unwilling to drop out of the presidential race. His campaign, the White House, and the Democratic Party are all in chaos. If Biden won't leave, what is the party to do? If "Plan B" is replacing Biden and he won't go, a left-wing scholar is advocating a "Plan C" to save the president's floundering campaign.

Supporters of this plan suggest a straightforward strategy to counter Trump’s growing campaign momentum: replace Vice President Kamala Harris with former President Barack Obama.

“A Biden-Obama ticket would have a much better chance of beating Trump,” explained John Banzhaf, a professor at George Washington University Law School.

“Barack Obama is likely one of the few individuals whom a majority of Americans would want and trust as president," he claimed, without evidence. "Making Plan C possibly the least objectionable of several unappealing options now available to Biden and the Democratic Party."

Banzhaf argues that none of the alternatives to Biden appear to be in any better position to win the presidency, and even if they were, the money raised by the Biden-Harris campaign can't simply be transferred to another campaign.

You're probably thinking, "But what about the 22nd Amendment?"

Banzhaf argues that the 22nd Amendment, often cited as a barrier to Barack Obama serving as president again, doesn't actually prevent him from becoming vice president and then succeeding to the presidency.

Here's what the 22nd Amendment states:

No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice, and no person who has held the office of the president, or acted as president, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected president shall be elected to the office of the president more than once.

The Grim Reaper: Biden Declares Two Justices Will Be Gone In Four Years

One of the least discussed aspects of the interview with President Joe Biden last night was his declaration that two of the nine justices are not long for the Court. The question is which two are facing retirement or the reaper.

In arguing for his remaining as the nominee despite record low polling, the President told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos with certainty that the next president “in going to appoint at least two new appointees.”

That must be uneasy news for the relatively small court that almost of a third will soon pass . . . one way or another.

Liberals have been pushing Sonia Sotomayor to retire, but she has clearly rejected those calls.

On CNN, journalist Josh Barro bluntly wondered why Sotomayor remains on the bench when younger jurists could be brought on to guarantee a liberal vote for years to come. He indicated that many liberals are frustrated with her for not stepping down: “I find it a little bit surprising, given what Justice Sotomayor describes there about the stakes of what is happening before the Supreme Court, that she’s not retired. She’s 69 years old, she’s been on the court for 15 years.”

At 70, Sotomayor shows no signs of mental decline. She has been a highly effective justice, stepping into the vacuum created by the death in 2020 of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Of course, few ever questioned the “Notorious RBG” in her decision to stay on the Court, despite her much older age and longer tenure. While some of us noted that Ginsburg was taking a huge risk in not allowing then-President Barack Obama to pick a successor, she remained on the Court in spite of medical problems and ultimately was replaced by Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Ginsburg, however, was almost 20 years older than Sotomayor.

There is no concern for deterioration or death on the bench in Sotomayor’s case. It is simply a matter of swapping out justices like light bulbs before they burn out.

All of the justices are younger than Ginsburg when she passed (and considerably younger than President Biden who is running for a second four-year term).
