Biden: Let's Destroy the Independence of the Supreme Court to Further Save Democracy

Why is this self-confessed vegetable still inhabiting the Oval Office?

Why have none of the Regime media companies which briefly confessed his senility for a month -- in order to drive him out of his candidacy -- refusing to acknowledge the same infirmity which made him a nonviable candidate also makes him a nonviable "president"?

Nevermind, rhetorical.

Biden's proposal, outlined in a Monday op-ed in the Washington Post, includes three main changes to the court, which he describes as "mired in a crisis of ethics." These changes include term limits for justices, a binding code of conduct, and a significant amendment aimed at ensuring that no president is above the law. The president's plan appears to be a direct response to the court's recent 6-3 decision granting broad immunity to presidents for crimes committed while in office.

"This nation was founded on a simple yet profound principle: No one is above the law. Not the president of the United States. Not a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. No one," Biden wrote. He criticized the Supreme Court's decision, arguing it leaves virtually no limits on presidential actions except those self-imposed by the president.

Expressing clear concern over Trump potentially returning to office, Biden wrote, "If a future president incites a violent mob to storm the Capitol and stop the peaceful transfer of power--like we saw on Jan. 6th, 2021--there may be no legal consequences."

In addition to what he calls the "No One Is Above The Law Amendment," Biden proposed term limits for Supreme Court justices, suggesting that each president should appoint a new justice every two years, with justices serving 18 years in active service.

Biden also called for a binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court, criticizing the current voluntary ethics code as "weak and self-enforced." He stated that justices should be required to disclose gifts, refrain from political activities, and recuse themselves from cases where they or their spouses have financial or other conflicts of interest. He argued that every other federal judge is bound by an enforceable code of conduct, and the Supreme Court should not be exempt.

The lesser courts are created by Congress and can therefore be regulated by Congress. The Supreme Court is created by the Constitution as an independent branch of government which is co-equal to both the Congress and the executive and therefore answers to neither.

Remember, Joe Biden was a "constitutional law professor" at U Penn, just like he was a coal miner, All-American Football Star, and Puerto Rican by way of his family's maid.
