After withdrawing from the presidential election<\/a>, Joe Biden unveiled a Supreme Court reform that overturns the July 2 immunity ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Biden<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, July 29, US President Joe Biden announced a detailed three-pronged proposal to change the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This action establishes a significant policy focus for the remaining months of his presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the reform seeks to challenge former President Donald Trump's immunity ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s SC Proposal Pits Against Donald Trump Ruling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Biden's proposal\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> includes the establishment of a binding ethics code, the implementation of term limits for Supreme Court justices, and the introduction of a constitutional amendment that declares presidents are not immune from criminal prosecution for offenses committed while in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “No One Is Above the Law Amendment” amendment is a direct response to a controversial Supreme Court ruling that occurred in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ruling declared that former President Donald Trump was immune from criminal prosecution for the “official acts” he committed during his presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis decision today has continued the Court\u2019s attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation,\u201d Biden stated. Furthermore, he criticized the Supreme Court\u2019s 6-3 ruling on presidential immunity that favored Donald Trump. Biden added, \u201cFrom gutting voting rights and civil rights to taking away a woman\u2019s right to choose, to today\u2019s decision that undermines the rule of law of this nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The proposed ethics code is also a response to the recent controversies involving Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were discovered to have accepted financial donations that were not disclosed and that posed significant conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden underscored the need for an ethics code to reestablish public trust in the judiciary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reform Approval Odds & Texas Speech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Biden has been more vocal about his dissatisfaction with the conservative-majority Supreme Court throughout his administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Court's decisions to repeal federal abortion protections, restrict affirmative action in college admissions, and invalidate Biden's student debt relief program have been the subject of controversy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These rulings have inspired Biden to advocate for significant reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to call for Supreme Court reform because this is critical to our democracy,\u201d Biden declared in a national address from the Oval Office on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His reform plan is part of his endeavor to solidify his legacy in the less than six months left on his term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also crucial to mention that this announcement comes shortly after Biden withdrew from the presidential campaign,\u00a0endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a> as his successor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, enacting these proposals into law presents a substantial obstacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congressional approval is required, and given the current party split in Congress, this will be a difficult task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A constitutional amendment, in particular, requires two-thirds majority support from both the House and the United States Senate, which is extremely difficult to obtain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden is scheduled to provide additional details regarding his reform proposals during a speech at the LBJ Presidential Library in Texas later on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This speech is anticipated to detail the specifics of his strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, his speech will gather support for what he sees as essential changes to defend American democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
