When you don’t get your way, changing the rules is the hallmark of the sore loser. And that’s exactly what Whoopi Goldberg was demanding during ABC’s The View on Thursday. With the recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings favoring conservatives hanging over them like the storm clouds over their set in the Bahamas, Goldberg pleaded for President Joe Biden to pack the Court with liberals to bring the highest court in the land back into “balance.”
“Listen, you have a Supreme Court that is not a balance of left and right. They are here. They're, like, this,” she whined as she mimed being a scale weighted to one side (image above).
“And that is not what the Supreme Court is supposed to be because they have to rule -- they have to judicially; they are supposed to be the balance for the country. They're out of balance now,” she proudly proclaimed, showing off her ignorance of what the Court’s purpose is.
Nowhere in Article III of the Constitution does it say there needs to be a “balance” of political parties on the bench. And the left would be ecstatic if they could get a 6-3 majority. In fact, they wanted to replace conservative Justice Antonin Scalia with Merrick Garland, who they claimed was a “moderate.” Even taking that false characterization on its face, means they were replacing someone on the right with someone more left-leaning.
“And I think the only way to fix it, is we're going to have to put other people on the Court,” Goldberg proposed as the solution. “Listen, I'm in favor of my getting my country back,” she defended her position. She also claimed she was once “a huge fan of the Supreme Court” and “had a lot of faith in them,” but “I don't have faith in them now because I'm afraid that politics is now the way to go…”
This drew questions from faux Republican Ana Navarro about what she was actually asking to be done to the court. Co-host Sunny Hostin admitted the goal was to “pack the court,” but the verbiage quickly changed to something less abrasive and more flowery:
NAVARRO: But when you say putting other people in the supreme court—
HOSTIN: She means Biden should pack the court.
NAVARRO: -- are you talking about putting more people or –
HOSTIN: Yeah.
BEHAR: Stacking the court, yes.
HAINES: Expanding.
GOLDBERG: I'm talking about expanding the court for the balance.
HOSTIN: Expanding the court.
Navarro warned them that Biden “doesn’t have the votes. He doesn't have the votes to change the filibuster.” But that didn’t deter Goldberg. “Well. But, Ana, it doesn't change that that's what I want. It doesn't change what I would like,” she huffed.
This demand for destroying our norms and institutions was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Prevagen and Progressive their contact information is linked.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: He’s [President Joe Biden] what he can do. What he's not doing is he's not doing what the Republicans are expecting him to do. They expect him to go in and change stuff instantly. He's waiting for his party to say, Listen, you have a Supreme Court that is not a balance of left and right. They are here. They're, like, this.
[Mimes scale out of balance]

GOLDBERG: And I think the only way to fix it, is we're going to have to put other people on the Court, so that there is – becomes –
ANA NAVARRO: Which it's going to take -- it's going to take decades.
HOSTIN: Are you in favor of that?
GOLDBERG: Listen, I'm in favor of my getting my country back. I'm in favor of -- because there are so many things that I don't like in our country and so many things that I do like. And you know I'm a huge fan of the Supreme Court. I had a lot of faith in them. I don't have faith in them now because I'm afraid that politics is now the way to go and not --
BEHAR: That's right.
