Biden to talk about changing the Supreme Court at LBJ Library
Welcome to the Boston Post News network, where we bring you the latest updates and insights on current affairs. Today, we dive into President Biden’s upcoming speech at the Lyndon B. Johnson Library in Austin, Texas, where he is set to unveil his proposal to reform the Supreme Court. This highly anticipated plan is expected to face significant hurdles in Congress but has the potential to energize Democrats and liberals as Vice President Kamala Harris prepares for her presidential campaign which began after President Biden decided to step down from the race last week.
In a bold move to shake up the Supreme Court, President Biden’s proposal includes imposing 18-year term limits for justices, implementing a binding ethics code, and seeking a constitutional amendment to limit presidential immunity. These reforms come in response to recent controversial Supreme Court decisions, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade and issues surrounding judicial ethics, such as Justice Clarence Thomas’s acceptance of costly trips from a GOP donor.
Despite the uphill battle in Congress, with Republicans controlling the House and Democrats holding a slim majority in the Senate, the proposal is set to spark debate and engagement among voters. As Vice President Harris gears up to assert her candidacy, the Supreme Court reform proposal could become a rallying cry for Democrats and liberals to increase voter turnout and support her bid for the presidency.
For those eager to witness President Biden’s speech on the Supreme Court reform proposals, mark your calendars for July 29, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. ET. The event will take place at the historic Lyndon B. Johnson Library in Austin, Texas, and will be available for live streaming on CBS News through various platforms.
