McConnell: Biden’s Supreme Court reforms ‘dead on arrival’ in Congress

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell criticized President Biden’s proposal for Supreme Court term limits as “unconstitutional,” declaring it “dead on arrival” in Congress. McConnell, surprised by Biden’s suggestion to limit justices to 18 years, remarked on Biden’s previous role as Judiciary Committee chairman, stressing the constitutional provision for justices’ lifetime appointments. McConnell accused Democrats of attacking the Supreme Court due to dissatisfaction with its composition and rulings, such as the Roe v. Wade reversal. Biden also proposed a constitutional amendment to eliminate immunity for former presidents and enforce a binding code of conduct for justices, highlighting the need to restore public confidence in the Court.
