[KARAH RUCKER]
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IS REPORTEDLY PLANNING TO ENDORSE MAJOR REFORMS AT THE SUPREME COURT — INCLUDING TERM LIMITS AND AN UPDATED CODE OF ETHICS.
THIS COMES AFTER RECENT ETHICS concerns have been spotlighted in the media — AND high-profile DECISIONS ON ABORTION AND PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY have some democrats questioning the high court’s impartiality.
REPORTS SAY BIDEN TOLD LAWMAKERS IN THE CONGRESSIONAL PROGRESSIVE CAUCUS DURING A VIRTUAL MEETING SATURDAY — THAT HE HAD BEEN CONSULTING CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLARS ON THE MATTER FOR MORE THAN A MONTH.
THE PROPOSALS — WHICH COULD BE UNVEILED IN THE COMING WEEKS — WOULD NEED CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL… WHICH IS NOT LIKELY GIVEN REPUBLICAN CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND THE SLIM DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN THE SENATE.
