Biden to Announce Support for Major Supreme Court Reforms, Washington Post Reports

(Reuters) -U.S. President Joe Biden is preparing to propose a major Supreme Court overhaul in the coming week that would include term limits for justices and an enforceable ethics code, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday citing two sources familiar with the plans.

Biden is also weighing whether to call for a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad presidential immunity, the Post reported

During a call with the Congressional Progressive Caucus on Saturday, Biden said there would be some form of Supreme Court reform that he will be unveiling or seeking, according to a source familiar with the discussion. He provided no specifics during that call.

Biden has previously shunned calls to overhaul the top court by implementing term limits or by expanding the number of seats on the bench. Some Democrats have made calls for the changes following former President Donald Trump's appointment of three conservative justices. Any such reform would need Congressional support.

Is diben too brain dead to understand that more than any other president who has ever served, he will need the protections of presidential immunity?

When the founding fathers created our system of government, they carefully and deliberately separated the executive, the legislative, and the judicial branches on purpose. They knew all too well how some future administration might try to alter some part of the government that stood in the way of some dictatorial initiative they would like to enact. Now the anti-constitutionalists who control the Democrat party at this moment are hoping to overturn the vision that created this nation. I pray that Almighty God whose desire was the forming of this nation will prevent them from doing any such thing. The day that one branch of government can dictate the actions of another part and the way in which it can operate, the foundations of this country are gone forever.

What a moron to think he (O'Biden) knows more about the SCOTUS structure than the framers of our country from our past.
