Biden set to unveil major Supreme Court reform plans next week
Daily Mail ^

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.

Joe has been working overtime...night and day...non-stop on this plan.

Clearly...this man is sharp as a tack behind closed doors.

F off, scumbag. Except for your senility, Robert but would have brought criminal charges against you. You and your whole family are a bunch of financial criminals.

I’m surprised at how tone deaf the democrats have gotten. They know they won’t come anywhere near the 2/3 required to get amendments out of Congress, so this is merely performative. Do they really think Joe Sixpack gives a damn?

Just like Biden himself, it is DOA.

Raise your hand if you think Joe did any of this thinking.

Checks and balances.
Three co-equal branches of government.

But, of course, the Democrat Party rules everything and can do whatever they want.

It amazes me that anyone is giving this coverage. its IMPOSSIBLE for him to get the votes needed for a constitutional amendment. You might as well say Biden is looking for a way to grow wings and fly. This is DOA and 100% Theater, yet we pretend like this is some sort of threat. Its not.

"President Joe Biden" isn't "planning" anything. He's got his engineer cap on and playing with toy trains.

Other people are planning things for Joe to attempt to announce. Americans have a right to know who those "other people" are.

This "Biden" BS has to come to an end.

There is a famous song out there that reflects the futility of his ridiculous recommendations: “Pissing into the wind”.

“It wasn’t him, he’s not capable of those kinds of thoughts 💭.”

If he were capable of any thought he would tell who ever proposed that idea to go to hell as it is embarrassing.
