Biden set to unveil major Supreme Court reform plans next week
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
 is reportedly planning to unveil a dramatic Supreme Court reform next week in an attempt to overhaul the high court.

Two people familiar with the matter told Politico that the president is likely to endorse establishing term limits for justices, and bring in a code of ethics.

The 81-year-old is expected to push for an amendment that would limit immunity for presidents and other officeholders.
An amendment to the US Constitution? Does his team — since clearly he won’t be involved — have any idea what has to be done to pass such a thing? It takes a great deal more than a phone and a pen.
His amendment would come directly after the court ruled that presidents are shielded from prosecution for officials acts, in a case brought by Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...
According to the outlet, the specifics remain unclear and could still change sources said.

It is said that Biden will call for the overhaul while on a trip to Texas, where he is set to speak at the Lyndon Baines Johnson presidential library in Austin.

The White House declined to comment, referring to remarks earlier this week from his press secretary that he believes the SC should be 'held to a high ethics'

After the court ruled on Trump's immunity case, Biden called the decision 'dangerous' and said it would embolden Trump if the Republican is reelected.

He warned that the conservative-leaning court 'fundamentally changed' a bedrock principle of the nation.
"We win. You lose"
Biden said: 'This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America.

'Today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what a president can do.

'This is a fundamentally new principle and it's a dangerous precedent. The only limits will be self-imposed by the president alone.'

The Court's 6-3 ruling practically insured that Trump wouldn't face another trial before the November election.

#2 The progressive/socialist movement is on the march. He will push for the legislative/administrative agenda reducing the three pillars to two. Lennin and Rosevelt are proud...

#3 

Every time we read
BIDEN to take action, purposes to, gave $$$B's to, or signed Executive Order ####.

We should be asking who is actually doing it and why?

The DC Swamp & its media arm has known Biden is an empty cell for years. Yet the (D's) & yes (R's) have avoided the 25th and Serious Impeachment for 2+ years. Why?

So, when will the Puppet Masters running the White House behind the scenes be arrested and put on display?

#4 An amendment to the US Constitution? Does his team — since clearly he won’t be involved — have any idea what has to be done to pass such a thing? It takes a great deal more than a phone and a pen.

At this point, the Ruling Council - it sure as hell ain't POTUS - doesn't give a damn if it's Constitutional or not, if they ever knew/cared in the first place. This is a naked attempt to gain votes, and it will go nowhere. The best part is that when SCOTUS shoots it down, they can blame the justices and the whole process starts again.

I mean, if you think it's bad now...if Trump wins, he's going to nominate at least one justice, and that will be a bloodbath of legendary proportions, even with GOP control of the Senate.

#5 The less Biden or his Communist cadre touch btwn now and Jan 2025, the better. He obviously has no mandate from the people.

#6 Term limits, remember to include every Representative(6) and every Senator(3). Oh, and throw in if they do not pass separate funding bills for each Department and Agency by 30 September they're barred from elected or appointed office for 10 years.

#10 Moving into full lame duck mode. Expect all kinds of judicial "reforms", new gun laws, censorship actions, and boodle for his cronies.
He has exactly zero to loose at this point.

#13 Changing the court, as in number of justices is not something that would drive an amendment to the constitution. There is nothing in the constitution that dictates the number of justices. There is, however, constitution verbiage that declares them there for life and their funding, paycheck, can never be lowered. So to put term limits would definitely drive and constitutional amendment.
