Justice Neil Gorsuch is facing backlash over his recent warning about President Joe Biden's proposed reforms to the Supreme Court. While Biden's plan includes term limits for justices, a constitutional amendment to limit presidential immunity rulings, and an enforceable ethics code, Gorsuch cautioned Americans to "be careful" when it comes to making changes to the independent judiciary.

In an interview with Fox News, Justice Gorsuch highlighted the importance of an independent judiciary in providing fair hearings, especially for those who are unpopular or facing government actions. He emphasized the need for a fiercely independent judge and a jury of peers to make crucial decisions.

However, these remarks have not been well-received by critics, who argue that Gorsuch's comments were out of line. Harry Litman, a former deputy assistant attorney general and legal affairs columnist, questioned why Gorsuch chose to discuss the topic on Fox News in the first place.

While Supreme Court justices are not prohibited from discussing politics, they often face criticism for doing so due to their lifelong appointments to the bench. Some critics interpreted Gorsuch's "be careful" warning as a threat and expressed their opposition on social media platforms.

Podcast host Jack Hopkins, identifying as a "former Republican," expressed his disagreement with Gorsuch's stance. He asserted that the American people would demand changes to the Supreme Court and support President Harris and elected officials in making those amendments. Hopkins criticized Gorsuch, warning him not to "f*ck this country over" and then advise caution to the public.

Gorsuch declined to comment on Justice Elena Kagan's endorsement of a judicial panel to monitor justices' compliance with the Court's ethics code in a recent interview with The New York Times.

As the controversy surrounding Gorsuch's remarks continues to unfold, Newsweek has reached out to Gorsuch for comment through the Supreme Court's Public Information Office.

It is clear that Justice Gorsuch's warning about possible Supreme Court reforms has ignited a heated debate among legal experts and the public, highlighting the ongoing conversation around the independence and integrity of the nation's highest court.
