President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.
He is also weighing whether to call for a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad immunity for presidents and other constitutional officeholders, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.
The announcement would mark a major shift for Biden, a former chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who has long resisted calls to reform the high court. The potential changes come in response to growing outrage among his supporters about recent ethics scandals surrounding Justice Clarence Thomas and decisions by the new court majority that have changed legal precedent on issues including abortion and federal regulatory powers.
Are the fascists going to hang up their red hats if Biden wins? Is Biden going to any fucking thing to stop them in his second term? We need to start thinking about what to do about this now.
One problem at a time. The biggest problem first.
Getting people to the voting booth at all costs. Nothing else comes even close to being relevant if Trump wins.
Heck. It might be the last democratic election in American history. Seems worth voting just to say you were there.
Cool, but in the mean time, VOTE. Planning to stop a fascist takeover of government is a lot easier if the fascists don’t control the Presidency.
drag everybody out to vote first of all. Start with the easy steps then start daydreaming about holing up in a bunker with a stockpile of guns, or whatever it is you’re suggesting.
