President Joe Biden is seriously considering publicly endorsing major reforms at the Supreme Court, a move that would make him the first sitting president in generations to back seismic changes to the way the nation’s highest court operates, according to two sources familiar with the deliberations.

Chief among the changes Biden is planning to publicly back are term limits for the nine justices, who currently serve lifetime appointments. The president is also said to be preparing to throw his support behind an ethics code for the court that would contain an enforcement mechanism, which was notably absent from the code the court adopted last year.

It would take amendments to the Constitution, which will never pass.

Correct. There is not enough support either in Congress or the state legislatures for this. He’s just jerking off.

Near zero chance of any of these things getting passed before 2025.
Biden really thinks he has been the one in control the last 4 years.
Those who were really in control are updating their resumes.

The dems better be careful what they ask for. Liberal judges aren’t exactly ethical.

It would require an amendment to the constitution to be ratified. Not going to happen. Instead they will try to increase the number of jurists to 13 in order to pack the court with leftists like RBG.

Let’s hope even the liberal justices see the threat.

Reminds me of removing a belligerent drunk and while dragging them outside they are grabbing at anything and everything and knocking crap over and drag the rug outside with them.

Biden’s mind is full of the same stuff his diaper is full of.
