Biden proposes Supreme court reform Ahead of white house exit

US President Joe Biden has made early schedules of reforming America’s Supreme Court only a few months before the expiry of his administration. It is worth stating that political analysts have described it as a big risk.

In an attempt to render an impact in his last six months of presidency, US President Joe Biden laid out strategies for pressing changes to the Supreme Court dominated by conservatives on Monday.

“This nation was founded on a simple yet profound principle: Everyone, and I mean everyone, is accountable to the law, including the president of the United States of America and including a justice of the United States of America Supreme Court,” Biden claimed in a piece for Newsweek on Monday.

“What is happening now is not normal, and it erodes the people’s trust in the ability of the court to make lawful decisions, especially those touching on personal liberties. Now we are in a breach.”

Joseph R. Biden, an 81-year-old Democrat, wants a Supreme Court decision that supports Republican Donald Trump’s claims of presidential immunity to be overturned via constitutional amendment, the White House said.

The US president is also demanding that Supreme Court justices should be subjected to term limits, although they have lifetime contracts, after shocking verdicts like declaring null and void the nationwide right to abortion.
