Can he do this?
Now we know why Kagen was talking about ethics.

“The 81-year-old is expected to push for an amendment that would limit immunity for presidents and other officeholders”

There’s his barrier. This kind of shit requires an amendment to the Constitution so its not going to happen.

He knows he can’t because he will use Presidential immunity himself very soon...

It’s a rare liberal who has ethics.

He can propose anything he wants. He can propose it until he is blue in the face. But nothing is going to happen.

Term limits for the federal judiciary would require a constitutional amendment. He'll need two thirds of both Houses of Congress to propose it to the states for ratification. That support doesn't exist.

Then he needs three fourths of the states to ratify. That support doesn't exist.

Biden is just engaging in political masturbation.

Support a constitutional amendment? Absolutely!

Now, actually getting the constitution amended will be a much greater challenge. This is highly unlikely to happen in Biden's lifetime.

Of course he can do it. But to term-limit Justices (or Federal Judges for that matter) and to overturn SCOTUS’s immunity ruling, Joe will have to get 2/3rds of each house to pass it and convince 3/4ths of the state legislatures to ratify them. Pretty tall order for a lame duck whose time has passed him by.

Will he be angry Biden, creepy-whisper Biden, or a confused “...whatever” Biden when he announces it?

No. It’ll have to go through congress and the GOP will stop it. Though you can bet they’ll try it if they have all 3 houses.

Pretty much it’s a lame duck move. Like the GOP pushing through legislation to revoke Obamacare... until they had all 3 houses...

I think only Congress or a convention of States can propose amendments to the Constitution.🤔

No, he can’t do this. Setting term limits on any federal judges would violate the constitution, only a constitutional amendment would permit that to be changed. Even if you were to get 2/3 of each house of Congress to agree, which I don’t believe he would, Then he would still need to get 3/4 of the state legislatures to agree to the amendment. That is just not going to happen.

This is nothing but a campaign stunt.
