Elizabeth Warren launches new attack on Supreme Court: ‘Actively undermining democracy’
SUMMARY
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) renewed her criticism of the Supreme Court, accusing it of "actively undermining democracy" and previewing potential reforms. In a Sunday CNN interview, Warren discussed President Biden’s forthcoming proposal, which might include term limits, an ethics code, and a constitutional amendment to remove presidential immunity. Her remarks followed a Supreme Court ruling granting former President Donald Trump some immunity from prosecution related to post-2020 election actions. Democrats, outraged by the ruling and ethical issues involving Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, have called for reforms. Thomas has been criticized for allegedly not disclosing gifts from wealthy donors, while Alito faces backlash over his recusal decisions. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has even filed impeachment articles against the justices. Biden is expected to unveil his proposal soon.
