Psaki Asked If Biden Would View SCOTUS Overturning Roe v. Wade As ‘Legitimate’
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked Wednesday if President Joe Biden would view a decision by the Supreme Court as “legitimate” if it overturned Roe v. Wade.
During a press briefing on Wednesday, Psaki was asked, “If the court does move to strike down Roe, should Americans be prepared to accept that decision as legitimate? And would President Biden accept that as legitimate?”
That seems like a rather straightforward question, no? A simple “yes” or “no” would be an adequate response, yes? Not when you’re dealing with the Biden administration.
“I can’t speak for what actions could be possible on the legal front,” Psaki replied. “I would point you to the Department of Justice on that.”
Yeah, Biden is in a bit of a pickle with this one. The entire premise of his presidency is that whatever the court has ruled is legitimate and cannot be overturned. So if he declares the SCOTUS ruling on Roe V. Wade “illegitimate,” what about that court ruling that allowed all that mass mailing and unaccountable voting that violated election law in Pennsylvania?
