President Biden on Thursday weighed in on the Supreme Court following its decision to upend affirmative action in college admissions, calling it “not normal.”
“This is not a normal court,” the president said at the White House when asked whether thought the institution had gone “rogue.”
The president later explained what he meant, saying in an interview with MSNBC that the Court “has done more to unravel basic rights and basic decisions than any Court in recent history.”
“Take a look at how its ruled on a number of issues that have been precedent for 50, 60 years sometimes. And that’s what I meant by not normal,” the president added. “Across the board the vast majority of the American people don’t agree with majority of decisions the court is making.”
