At the State of the Union address, President Biden criticized the Supreme Court justices directly over their decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, straying from his prepared remarks.
He referenced their writing in the Dobbs decision that “women are not without electoral…and political power” and told them they were “about to realize just how much” they were right about that.
“In its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade the Supreme Court majority wrote the following — and with all due respect justices — ‘Women are not without electoral…and political power’ – you’re about to realize just how much you’re right about that,” Biden said.
Biden basically threatens the Supreme Court justices to their faces over abortion and struggles to read the teleprompter while doing it.

“The justices, dressed in their traditional black robes, sat expressionless but looking forward as the applause and reaction thundered around them. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was among those sitting beside the group, stood to applaud,” NBC News reported.
Democrats applauded loudly. Legal experts called this a deeply disturbing attack on the Supreme Court’s independence and an unprecedented breach of decorum, saying justices are not allowed to respond to such criticisms.
One expert said it was worse than when Obama criticized a recent ruling in front of justices, as Biden spoke directly to threaten them.
By controlling funding and agencies, Congress and the president wield power over the court, which only has the authority of its opinions; Biden’s speech attacked this essential judicial independence, the experts argued.
