Red Herring, Appeal to Emotion, Appeal to Authority, Straw Man

credAIble Evaluation:

The text presents President Biden's proposed Supreme Court reforms and includes reactions from both supporters and critics. Significant fallacies include Red Herring, seen in the references to unrelated controversies about individual justices. Appeal to Emotion is used through charged language describing the court's unpopularity and the need for reform. The author commits an Appeal to Authority by citing Vice President Kamala Harris and other officials to validate the proposals. Additionally, a Straw Man fallacy occurs when opponents' views are oversimplified or misrepresented to undermine their position. Despite these fallacies, the text maintains a relatively balanced discussion.
