President Biden unveiled a set of reform proposals to overhaul the Supreme Court including term limits for justices and a more binding ethics code.
Biden is also calling for a constitutional amendment declaring that presidents do not have immunity from criminal prosecution for any crimes committed while in office, following the Supreme Court's July ruling granting Donald Trump immunity for "official acts" he committed as president.
With just under six months of his presidency left, Biden said that overhauling the Supreme Court will be a priority.

This won't go down well with the MAGA cult.

How can courts be explicitly political?
Apart from giving guns to lunatics like they are penny sweets, and having Taliban-style abortion laws, that's about the dumbest part of America.

We're sadly beyond that question and in the early stages of watching the courts simply become another arm of government/party policy. Yes. It's absolute madness.

Would be some good in that, but is there really a chance of getting any of that done?
President can crime as they want, supreme court justices don't have an ethics code they have to abide by. The lie of "small government" conservatism obvious to see if one wants to.

...and this is what happens when you put an institutional -and mindful too- racist in front of the National Association of Black Journalists, thinking you can score a 'win'...wonderful!
Summary of Trump's NABJ interview
Donald Trump’s NABJ interview shocked the audience and ended up being cut short, apparently by his team. Here are some of the things the former president claimed in the heated Q&A:- He claimed that he has been the “best president for the Black population since Abraham Lincoln”, adding that a “Black job” is “anybody that has a job”.
- He questioned Kamala Harris’s ethnicity, saying: “She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black.”
- He refused to condemn the white police officer who shot and killed 36-year-old Sonya Massey, a Black woman, in her home in Illinois, saying: “Sometimes very bad decisions are made. They’re not made from an evil standpoint.”
- He repeated the abortion lie that Democrats are allowing abortions in the ninth month, saying: “They’re allowing the death of the baby after the baby is born.”
- In response to what he would do on his first day in office, he said that he would “close the border” and “drill, baby, drill”.
- Throughout the interview, which appeared to have been ended by his team after 40 minutes, Trump’s responses drew multiple gasps and shouts from the crowd.

It's been a bad one for creepy ol' weirdo even by his standards! I wonder if he's off his meds???
Donald Trump says JD Vance has "virtually no impact" on election
Trump selected the Ohio senator as his 2024 running mate earlier this month.

Do they ever discuss policies instead of how black they are, how American they are, or calling childish names etc?
The republicans don't really have any policies other than take from the poor and give to the rich.

And that is what the dems should be focusing on, this cult of the personality is ruining politics.
I think a problem with politics everywhere is that it's much easier to talk about everything the other lot is doing wrong than come up with solutions and they never really get challenged on it by journalists.
