President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to unveil a dramatic Supreme Court reform next week in an attempt to overhaul the high court.
Two people familiar with the matter told Politico that the president is likely to endorse establishing term limits for justices, and bring in a code of ethics.
The 81-year-old is expected to push for an amendment that would limit immunity for presidents and other officeholders.
His amendment would come directly after the court ruled that presidents are shielded from prosecution for officials acts, in a case brought by Donald Trump.
It is said that Biden will call for the overhaul while on a trip to Texas, where he is set to speak at the Lyndon Baines Johnson presidential library in Austin.
The White House declined to comment, referring to remarks earlier this week from his press secretary that he believes the SC should be 'held to a high ethics'
After the court ruled on Trump's immunity case, Biden called the decision 'dangerous' and said it would embolden Trump if the Republican is reelected.
He warned that the conservative-leaning court 'fundamentally changed' a bedrock principle of the nation.
Biden said: 'This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America.
'Today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what a president can do.
'This is a fundamentally new principle and it's a dangerous precedent. The only limits will be self-imposed by the president alone.'
The Court's 6-3 ruling practically insured that Trump wouldn't face another trial before the November election.
Biden called the decision a continued 'attack' on 'wide range of long established legal principles,' pointing to the reversal of Roe v. Wade and controversial decisions on civil and voting rights.

All of this proves as we know (not anyone outside FR) that the woke Dems are against any coming “democracy” and the US Constitution’s working system of three separate branches of government. In our Republic.
A Leftist insurrection will overthrow the government.
Maybe a SCOTUS to be appointed entirely by the Dem Party, with a popular vote for President and no electoral college, all elections run and ballots counted by a national election division in DC with no state input, and lifetime appointments for a Dem. President replacing the ones for justices.

“It is said that Biden will call for the overhaul while on a trip to Texas, where he is set to speak at the Lyndon Baines Johnson presidential library in Austin. “
Stay away from Texas, Joe.
You are not wanted here.
You are already a Lame Duck(ie).
As long as the donors send money, they don’t care.
Bump
This ahole and the rest of them in Congress can pass no effective action on the SC. It is constitutionally set as a coequal branch.
Agree. Remember when BO was complaining about the Bill of Rights as "a charter of negative liberties"?
Exactly ! The press is evil and, imho, a major threat to our Country!
Republicans will fold and ch9mo Joe will win. Prepare accordingly. We are fd
They can’t win with Joe so they take him out.
They can’t win with SCOTUS so they change the rules.
I just wanted to be certain. Dems are not beholden to the Constitution
.
You got it, the D’s think “Co-Equal” means THEY get to tell the other branches what to do any time they are unhappy to be kept in check.
