Is the Supreme Court really out of step?

Ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, and even prior to that event, democrats and especially President Biden have been fervently attacking the court itself with allegations that the court is radical with respect to its rulings and ideologies. The liberal media tells us that the Supreme Court is a rogue body that has become too powerful and is re-writing the constitution and destroying our rights.

If I’ve heard it once I’ve heard it a thousand times that women’s rights are being destroyed by nine old white-haired men in robes. Recently, during a fundraiser in Los Angeles, Joe Biden stated “There has never been a court that’s so far out of step”. But is that statement truthful? If looking through the modern day typical Democratic lense, one could argue that the court has never been as diverse as it is today and therefore by today’s liberal diversity standards, the court has never been more representative of the people of this country. What do I mean? The Supreme Court is a constitutional mandated court consisting of nine unelected justices serving as the third co-equal branch of our government. Today the Supreme Court is composed of five men and four women. Of the four women, one is black. Of the five men, one is black. Never in the history of the Supreme Court has the court itself been so diverse. With race, gender, and intersectionality being the primary liberal qualifiers for “diverse” and thereby supposedly better organizations, it seems clear that liberals should embrace the court and its “representative” mix of justices. President Biden, by his own diversity standards, should declare that the court has never been more "in step" than it is today.

This blog post is not meant in anyway to be a history of the Supreme Court or to present the multitude of thoughts and positions surrounding our highest court. But more from a higher view to point out that today’s Supreme Court has never been so diversified in its composition. And before we start running off at the mouth stating that nine old white haired men in robes are destroying the country, we ought at least to acknowledge that it is four women and five men, of which there are two black people of which one is a male and one is a female. And by the way they are not all white haired either. Referring to the composition of the court as simply nine old white-haired men in robes is simply a lie that doesn’t help debate at all.
