Biden to announce plans to reform US supreme court – report
SUMMARY
Joe Biden will announce plans to reform the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday, with likely proposals including term limits for justices and an enforceable code of ethics, Politico reports. This follows Biden's recent Oval Office address calling for court reform. The announcement, expected in Texas, may also include a constitutional amendment to limit immunity for presidents and some officeholders, prompted by a recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. Justice Elena Kagan has publicly supported strengthening the court's ethics code with enforcement mechanisms. The push for an ethics code gained urgency after reports of Justice Clarence Thomas accepting undisclosed luxury trips from a major Republican donor. Public confidence in the court has significantly declined, with many Americans believing justices are guided by personal ideologies.
