In a long-awaited request for changes to the US Supreme Court, President Joe Biden calls on Congress to establish expression limits and an legal ethics code for the nine justices. Additionally, he is urging lawmakers to accept a constitutional amendment that would end political immunity.
With only 99 days until election day, the White House released thorough details of Biden’s court proposal. It appears to have little chance of passing in a divided Congress.
White House wants to capitalize on the growing outcry from Democrats over the court’s 6-3 conservative majority and its decision to overturn landmark decisions regarding abortion rights and national regulatory authority that have been in place for decades. Democrats have also expressed concern about discoveries about contested relationships and court decisions that suggest their fairness is compromised.
Biden wrote in the Washington Post on Monday,” I have tremendous respect for our organizations and separation of powers. ” What is happening now is not regular, and it undermines the public’s trust in the judge’s choices, including those impacting individual rights. We then stand in a breach”.
Trump has criticized court transformation as a desperate attempt by Democrats to” Sing the Ref.” This month, he said,” Liberals are attempting to interfere in the presidential election, and ruin our justice system, by attacking their political opposition, ME, and our noble SC. We have to struggle for our honest and independent judges, and protect our state”.
