Biden's remarks came just two days after he bragged to his supporters at a rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that the Supreme Court ruling his student debt relief plan was unconstitutional did not "stop" him from canceling student loans.
"The Supreme Court blocked me from relieving student debt, but they didn’t stop me," Biden said Wednesday from Girard College.
Biden, like several other Democrat and Republican presidents throughout history, has taken aim at the Supreme Court for a number of rulings they have made during his tenure in the White House.
During his State of the Union address in March, Biden took direct aim at the justices and insisted they had underestimated the "electoral and political power" of women in their decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. During an interview with MSNBC about his remarks directed at the justices, Biden said, "Look, I think they made a wrong decision, think they read the Constitution wrong, I think they made a mistake."
Biden made similar comments on how the high court's ruling "didn't stop" him from canceling student loans in February while speaking at the Julian Dixon Library in Culver City, California.

He has also used Trump's remarks to raise funds for his re-election campaign, claiming in another post on X that Trump "questioned our judicial system."

"Donald Trump is threatening our democracy. First, he questioned our election system. Then, he questioned our judicial system," Biden wrote Friday.
Biden said Friday that Trump, who is the first president to be convicted of a felony, will "be given the opportunity, as he should, to appeal" the conviction.
