Biden on Supreme Court reform

President Joe Biden has proposed significant reforms to the U.S. Supreme Court, including term limits for justices, an enforceable code of ethics, and a constitutional amendment to limit presidential immunity. This marks a notable shift for Biden, who previously resisted court reform but now emphasizes the need to restore public trust in the judiciary following recent controversial rulings and ethics scandals. Vice President Kamala Harris has endorsed these proposals, stating they aim to strengthen democracy and ensure accountability, asserting that 'no one is above the law.' The reforms directly respond to the court's decisions, such as the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the grant of immunity to former President Trump. Biden's op-ed in The Washington Post highlights the urgency of these changes to prevent the abuse of power and uphold democratic principles. Both Biden and Harris call on Congress to act swiftly to implement these reforms.
