It’s so disgraceful, this court, that it shouldn’t even be allowed to be called the Supreme Court. It isn’t. It’s an insult to Motown to call it the Supreme Court. It’s not even a court. It’s only a court in the sense that the court of Louis the 16th was a court. Basically, it’s a harem. It’s Trump’s harem.
What Biden should do, not that you asked, but when they passed that law, that ruling, where they said ‘you’re not the president, there’s a king,’ which is what that ruling is, you can do whatever you want, you can never be held responsible, I thought, ‘You know, Biden is still the president. No one seems to notice.’ But I think Biden should dissolve the Supreme Court.
— Author Fran Lebowitz, in comments given during a recent appearance on Bill Maher’s Real Time, where she suggested that President Joe Biden do away with the Supreme Court after speaking about Trump v. U.S., the landmark presidential immunity case. “I always feel sorry for the three real judges on the court,” she went on to tell Maher. “Could you imagine having to go to work every day with Alito? With Kavanaugh? It must be horrible.”
