Biden's Proposed Reforms to the Supreme Court

President Biden has called for a constitutional amendment to overturn a recent Supreme Court decision granting former presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, while also endorsing mandatory ethics codes and 18-year term limits for justices. However, there is skepticism about the feasibility of these proposals, as drafting a clear amendment or passing term limits poses significant constitutional challenges. The conversation highlights that Biden's measures seem largely aimed at rallying the Democratic base in light of historically low court approval ratings, particularly among Democrats, rather than driving substantial legislative change. Overall, the proposals reflect ongoing partisan struggles around the Supreme Court and seem more symbolic in nature, drawing attention to broader electoral strategies than offering realistic governance solutions.
