Biden's Proposed Supreme Court Reforms

According to recent announcements, President Biden has proposed several reforms to address the “crisis of confidence” facing the Supreme Court. The key proposals include:

• 18-year term limits: Justices would serve for 18 years, with a new appointment every two years. This staggered system aims to depoliticize the court and reduce the impact of a single president’s appointments.

• Enforceable ethics code: A binding code of conduct would be established to ensure justices adhere to high ethical standards, addressing recent ethics scandals surrounding certain Supreme Court justices.

• Constitutional amendment to limit presidential immunity: The amendment would eliminate the Supreme Court’s recent invention of presidential immunity, allowing for accountability and ensuring that no individual, including the President, is above the law.

President Biden has emphasized the need for these reforms, stating that the current situation is “not normal” and undermines public confidence in the court’s decisions, including those impacting personal freedoms. He believes these changes would “restore trust and accountability to the court.” 17GEN4.com
