The Facts

  • Reports from the Washington Post and Associated Press claim that US Pres. Joe Biden is preparing to propose major reforms to the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS), which could include term limits, an enforceable ethics code, and a restriction on presidential immunity.

  • The plans were disclosed to members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus during a call on Saturday. Biden reportedly said that he is "about to come out" with the reform plan, which he says has been in the works for three months.
