Biden on Supreme Court reform

In a recent address, President Joe Biden emphasized the need for 'Supreme Court reform,' arguing it is crucial for democracy, as he navigates the final months of his presidency. He hinted at potential changes such as term limits for justices and an enforceable ethics code, aiming to address public dissatisfaction with the Court's current direction. This proposal has elicited strong reactions, with opponents, including Sen. Ted Cruz, claiming it is an attempt to politicize the Court further. Cruz warned that Biden's reforms are akin to a radical agenda aimed at undermining the independence of the judiciary, likening it to past efforts by FDR to pack the Court. Meanwhile, polling indicates significant public support for term limits, despite the contentious political landscape surrounding these proposals. As Biden steps back from the 2024 race, the implications of these reforms remain a hot topic amid a split Congress.
