US president also to seek constitutional amendment to limit immunity for presidents and various officeholders
Joe Biden will announce plans to reform the US supreme court on Monday, Politico reported, citing two people familiar with the matter, adding that the US president was likely to back term limits for justices and an enforceable code of ethics.
Biden said earlier this week during an Oval Office address that he would call for reform of the court.
He is also expected to seek a constitutional amendment to limit immunity for presidents and some other officeholders, Politico reported, in the aftermath of a July supreme court ruling that presidents have broad immunity from prosecution.
Biden will make the announcement in Texas on Monday and the specific proposals could change, the report added.
What does that mean?
I ask because I’m very much a fan of the additional civil rights protections that apply to my family members in blue states, and those definitely wouldn’t get passed nationally. I’m not a fam of the state laws that specifically prohibit those protections, but they seem more likely to get passed nationally.
We could absolutely do away with the electoral college though, as it’s straight up anti-democratic.
States rights crowd isn’t talking about giving additional civil rights. They are, and always have been, about stripping away as many minorities rights as possible.
I’ll say it again fuck States Rights.
Agreed about the EC, and I would love some RCV
