President Joe Biden has introduced a bold proposal for reforming the U.S. Supreme Court, including measures for term limits and an enforceable ethics code for the justices. Additionally, Biden is advocating for a constitutional amendment to limit presidential immunity. This proposal, revealed by the White House on Monday, aims to address ongoing concerns about the court’s impartiality and transparency.
With the 2024 election just 99 days away and Congress closely divided, the proposal faces significant challenges in gaining approval. Despite this, Democrats view the plan as a strategic move to sharpen the electoral debate. Vice President Kamala Harris, the expected Democratic nominee, has highlighted the need for court reform, framing her campaign against former President Donald Trump as a battle between “freedom and chaos.” Harris argues that recent Supreme Court decisions have raised serious questions about the fairness of the judiciary.
The proposal’s introduction underscores the administration’s effort to rally voter support and spotlight judicial issues as key election themes.
