Mike Johnson, the leading Republican in Congress, declared on Monday that President Joe Biden's Supreme Court reform proposal would not be entertained by the House of Representatives.

In a striking statement, Speaker Johnson accused Biden's proposal of being an effort to 'delegitimize the Court.' The President is set to propose significant reforms to the Supreme Court, which encompass term limits and a binding code of conduct for its nine justices.
