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.

    Hi SirDerpy. I think that the downvotes you are getting reflect disagreement with your opinions and it’s one thing I wish hadn’t translated from Reddit to this type of community. Too bad there aren’t “up/down votes for contribution” along side a set of others for agree/disagree. I perceive that your comments are thoughtful from your point of view, and I feel they contribute to the conversation. As such I am upvoting them.

      FUCK you, I won’t do what you tell me!

      (In case there’s any doubt, this Raging Against you is purely a silly bit, not meant as a totally uncalled for personal attack 😁)

        Hey now, don’t make assumptions! That could very well be Florence, after all.

          Nah, it’s Florence AND The Machine, not Florence The Machine.

          Now that you mention it, though, I wonder whether Florence ever had beef with Tom Morello 🤔

          Took you a while to piss them off enough that they formed a band about it, I guess 😁

          Screw that hack in general, really…

      Seems I want to share. I’ve been at this, off and on, for a long time.

      I say the basically the same things over time. As we as a society slowly progress in our collective understanding the reaction to those things suddenly changes. For example, they hated what I had to say about Biden stepping down until he did and everyone could see the results. The reaction to identical comments was reversed overnight.

      I’m not here to be safe, politic, or popular. I don’t want everyone to agree with me. I only want them to learn their systems, to reason their perspectives, and to communicate them with adequate nuance to be easily respected.

      I appreciate you. I assume there’s ten like you for every one that speaks up. Sincerely, thank you for speaking up and for reading this comment. It feels good to be understood.

        I cannot parse this comment. The wording is, at best, awkward
