Biden unveils plans to reform Supreme Court

Sharing is Caring!

  • Term Limits for Justices: Biden proposes ending lifetime appointments for Supreme Court justices. Instead, he suggests an 18-year term limit, with a new justice appointed every two years.
  • Ethics Code: The plan includes establishing a binding code of ethics for Supreme Court justices. This would require justices to disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity, and recuse themselves from cases where they have conflicts of interest.
  • Limiting Presidential Immunity: Biden is calling for a constitutional amendment to ensure that no president is immune from prosecution for crimes committed while in office.
  • Restoring Public Confidence: The reforms aim to address the growing public distrust in the Supreme Court, especially following controversial decisions and ethics scandals involving some justices.
