Or as a lame duck he can propose anything without political ramification. Look for this to bring out dem voters. The target audience is the young skulls full of mush to quote a legend. Biden has a bit of sympathy vote. The youngsters will eat it up
The irony.
First try it out on yourself and the House and Senate and see how it works out.
When the kinks are worked out, then we can talk about the SCOTUS.
Show me where in that pesky constitution thingie that the executive branch can apply any rules whatsoever to the judiciary branch...
They’re evil, not stupid.
The people pushing this know that they have an historically weak candidate, and they desperately need people talking about anything but Kamala.
Plus it ties into their fake outrage over Dobbs “Supreme Court Bad” has been their rallying cry for years now. Of course, they’re not really upset over Dobbs...it’s given them a huge bump in fundraising and an issue that they can run on in Blue states for the foreseeable future.
Pure focus-group electoral cynicism on full display.
Hey Joe, cure cancer. Much easier than this pipe dream.
Well, giving the speech at the third or fourth most despicable President to pack the Court is a Demoncrat Wet Dream. Good luck getting it ratified, Barry!
I see three proposals in this article.
1. Term limit the Justices of the Supreme Court
2. Create an enforceable code of ethics for the Justices of the Supreme Court
3. Amend the Constitution to remove the presidential immunity recently outlined by the Supreme Court
It looks like only one is looking for an amendment. The other two can be done with congressional legislation, right? And I’m not sure why codifying presidential immunity requires an amendment, except to make it bullet-proof in the future.
Not in this article is anything about changing the size of the SCOTUS, which has been done in the past.
Am I reading this right or wrong?
no he can not..this is just pap for his looney base.
Should a congresswoman have immunity to call Netanyahu a “war criminal”?
Can anybody justify that?
A stupid question.
Yes they should, as should anyone who supports the 1st amendment to the constitution.
I mean, he does if it’s signing legislation from Congress.
Joe Biden is the lamest of lame ducks. If he does this, its because the powers that be want to get it done with Joe Biden’s fingerprints on it. It’s a set up.
his base of inner city blacks dont understand this stuff, they just believe anything they are told.
Requires a constitutional amendment.
Create an enforceable code of ethics for the Justices of the Supreme Court
Can be done by legislation.
Amend the Constitution to remove the presidential immunity recently outlined by the Supreme Court
Requires a constitutional amendment.
Can be done by legislation.
Let me guess, that dude named Anonymous and his brother Unnamed Source.......
Those dudes sure get quoted a lot........
FJB
He cannot legally do this. He’s a moron if he believes he can.
“Biden set to unveil”. Seldom does one read a more empty statement.
and the second one would be promptly struck down as unconstitutional.
That isn’t going to happen, I pray.
Republicans should pounce ...
... and demand term limits for Members of Congress as well.
I would support that. We can debate separately the appropriate limit. I tend to favor longer limits. YMMV. But the biggest problem is the congressman for life racket, which is what has produced the grotesque corruption and arrogance of the democrat leadership. This is much less of a problem in the GOP because the congressional Republicans have been operating as a circular firing squad ever since Newt Gringrich and Dick Armey, who had been a great team through the mid-1990’s, hit their sell-by date.
