Kamala Harris has released a statement in support of Joe Biden’s unconstitutional Supreme Court reforms.

“In the course of our Nation’s history, trust in the Supreme Court of the United States has been critical to achieving equal justice under law. President Biden and I strongly believe that the American people must have confidence in the Supreme Court. Yet today, there is a clear crisis of confidence facing the Supreme Court as its fairness has been called into question after numerous ethics scandals and decision after decision overturning long-standing precedent.

That is why President Biden and I are calling on Congress to pass important reforms – from imposing term limits for Justices’ active service, to requiring Justices to comply with binding ethics rules just like every other federal judge. And finally, in our democracy, no one should be above the law. So we must also ensure that no former President has immunity for crimes committed while in the White House.

These popular reforms will help to restore confidence in the Court, strengthen our democracy, and ensure no one is above the law.”

Biden will expound on these proposed initiatives during a speech on Monday at the LBJ Presidential Library, marking the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, the official commented. The president has also laid out his reform aspirations in an editorial published on Monday morning.

Expressing his extensive experience with the Supreme Court, Biden highlighted his involvement with numerous nominations while serving as a U.S. senator and as vice president. “What is happening now is not normal, and it undermines the public’s confidence in the court’s decisions, including those impacting personal freedoms. We now stand in a breach,” he emphasized in the op-ed, published in the Washington Post.

The proposed reforms by Biden would strip any immunity previously enjoyed by former presidents for any crimes committed during their time in office.

In relation to the Supreme Court, Biden is pushing for a tenure of 18 years for justices, allowing for a once-every-two-years appointment of new justices.

The president is also advocating for a new code of conduct for the Supreme Court, requiring justices to disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity, and withdraw themselves from cases that involve financial or other conflicts of interest involving themselves or their spouses.

A White House official expressed that President Biden and Vice President Harris are eager to collaborate with Congress and reinforce the democracy’s safeguards by reviving faith in the Supreme Court, preventing the abuse of presidential power, and empowering the American people.

This op-ed marks President Biden’s most substantial policy move since his recent announcement of withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race earlier this month.
