Biden calls the Supreme Court an 'extreme court'

US President Joe Biden once again attacked the US Supreme Court after its decision to abolish the right to abortion.

"I share the public anger toward this extreme court," Biden said in a meeting with state governors on Friday, noting that the court wanted to set America back and curtail rights.

Under former President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court sided with the right.


"Right now, we don't have votes in the Senate," Biden said.

The President expressed his hope that this situation would change after the elections in November.

The Biden-led Democratic Party currently has a slim majority in the Senate, and Democrats only hold 50 seats - exactly half - and so the House is regularly slowed down by the so-called stall feature.

The blocking feature is a more than 100-year-old regulation that states that for many bills, 60 of the 100 senators must agree to end debate before there can be a vote in the chamber of Congress.
