Biden's Bold Move: Supreme Court Overhaul Proposed

President Joe Biden is set to propose significant reforms to the U.S. Supreme Court, including term limits for justices and an enforceable ethics code. He is also considering a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad presidential immunity. The proposals follow discussions with the Congressional Progressive Caucus and growing calls for judicial reform.

President Joe Biden is gearing up to propose a sweeping overhaul of the U.S. Supreme Court, including the introduction of term limits for justices and the establishment of an enforceable ethics code, according to sources familiar with the plan as reported by the Washington Post.

Additionally, Biden is contemplating a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad presidential immunity. This consideration was reportedly discussed during a video conference with the Congressional Progressive Caucus on Saturday. The move marks a significant shift for Biden, who has previously resisted calls to impose term limits or expand the number of seats on the bench, demands that gained momentum following former President Donald Trump's appointment of three conservative justices.

In recent developments, a bipartisan group of legal experts vocalized their support for 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices in October, citing it as a strategy to mitigate partisanship and enhance the judiciary's standing.
