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. 2

People that want to pack the Court bc decisions don’t go their way - likely already voting for these losers. But thanks for confirming that they are petty tyrants. 2 1
PetermansRedemption Posted July 17 Posted July 17 The President doesn’t have the authority to do this. He will need senate approval and it would be dead on arrival.

Tommy Callahan Posted July 17 Posted July 17 This is horrible optics. The ones cheering it on lack self awareness. Same people would be rioting if the right was talking of destroying checks and balances and usurping power he doesn't legally have. 1
