Pres. Joe Biden on Monday in an opinion essay in The Washington Post called for three reforms to the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) he wrote will "restore trust and accountability" to the court and democracy in the US.
Biden wrote these ideas were inspired by the recent SCOTUS decision granting presidents broad immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken while in office, other decisions that went against "settled legal precedents," and recent revelations about justices whose "fairness and independence" have come into question.Biden wrote that these ideas were inspired by the recent SCOTUS decision granting presidents broad immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken while in office, other decisions that went against "settled legal precedents," and recent revelations about justices whose "fairness and independence" have come into question.
