US president also to seek constitutional amendment to limit immunity for presidents and various officeholders
Joe Biden will announce plans to reform the US supreme court on Monday, Politico reported, citing two people familiar with the matter, adding that the US president was likely to back term limits for justices and an enforceable code of ethics.
Biden said earlier this week during an Oval Office address that he would call for reform of the court.
He is also expected to seek a constitutional amendment to limit immunity for presidents and some other officeholders, Politico reported, in the aftermath of a July supreme court ruling that presidents have broad immunity from prosecution.
Biden will make the announcement in Texas on Monday and the specific proposals could change, the report added.
Seems to me he’s using his last months in office to highlight issues that will damage the republican traitor filth as his VP campaigns to save the Republic.
Meanwhile Trump's VP is busy convincing people that it's ok for him to fuck couches or jack off to dolphin porn because he has a kid
Edit: clarifying
I think I know what you meant to say, but I’m pretty sure the downvotes are due to how confusingly and ambiguously you worded your comment
You might need to reread the comment you replied to.
But... it's got dat cushion for a pushin'
Bro took the dolphin copypasta literally
Need a new amendment enforcing federal retirement age on elected and appointed people. If you hit it during your term, you can’t run again. If you position is appointed, you have a year to step down.
Also need a federal law correcting the recent bribery ruling, and applying it to ALL federal employees, political and non-political. Call it the Thomas Act.
Wouldn't that be funny? Biden, in his last months in office, sets term limits on Congress that would have also booted him! That would be the most epic walking away while something explodes behind you kind of moment.
Age discrimination. Term limits or length of service would be more fair.
It's my understanding that term limits actually end up making for a worse government, because then you end to with a higher fraction of people who are new at their job. Like any other high-skill job, it can take a year or more before you start to get good at what you're supposed to be doing. Too many freshman means there's less continuity and stability in the government.
But this is all just a vague understanding, I haven't read up on it intentionally.
Presidential immunity is already unconstitutional. This Court would just ignore the new amendment like they do the current constitution.
At that point, the president with his immunity can swoop in and have their asses thrown in Guantanamo
I have near-zero hope this happens, but I hope it does. At least someone is worried about presidents with immunity- even leftist commentators seem to be just shrugging it off.
But one of the first things Congress did in 1789, the year the new government got going, was to set up a federal judiciary, including the Supreme Court—with six Justices. source
So get rid of 3 of them. Thomas. Alito. Roberts.
