President Joe Biden is expected to support sweeping reforms to the U.S. Supreme Court that could lead to term limits for judges and enforceable ethics laws, according to The Washington Post.

A person familiar with the matter Said The Washington Post reported on the upcoming endorsement, which could include calling for a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad immunity for the president and other public officials.

“I need your help on the Supreme Court, because I'm about to announce — I don't want to announce it prematurely — but I'm about to announce a big plan to limit the power of the Supreme Court,” Biden reportedly said in a conference call with progressive lawmakers obtained by The Washington Post. “I've been working with constitutional scholars for the last three months, and I need help.”

These changes come on the heels of several U.S. Supreme Court rulings that went against the Biden administration.

In late June, the Supreme Court justices voted 6-3 in Fisher v. United States, upholding its position that the Department of Justice (DOJ) overbroadly interpreted and abused the law in pursuing former President Donald Trump and his supporters in the January 6 attack on the Capitol.

The ruling also had an impact on Special Counsel Jack Smith's election interference lawsuit against Trump, with two counts alleging that Trump “knowingly made false claims about election fraud in order to obstruct the federal government's ability to compile, count, and certify the results of the election.”

Following this decision, the Supreme Court held a new vote in early July on Trump's immunity appeal, ruling that a president in office is immune from criminal prosecution for “official business.”

The ruling leaves Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis with little basis to block charges against Trump, and both are continuing their litigation to this day.

But Smith was dealt a new blow on Monday when Florida Judge Eileen Cannon found that Biden's attorney general's appointment of Smith as special counsel was unlawful and dismissed the classified documents lawsuit against Trump.

The Washington Post reported that Biden has discussed the immunity decision with Harvard professor Laurence Tribe, who said on Monday that the dismissal of Smith's lawsuit creates an opportunity for Cannon to be removed from the case.

The justices also issued a landmark decision overturning the precedent of automatic deference to bureaucrats by overturning Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, which required courts to follow reasonable agency interpretations of certain laws when the language used is inherently ambiguous. Since that decision, lower courts have had to review cases in which federal agencies have interfered with the activities of American citizens.

As the ruling is announced, the president has come under pressure from Democrats and liberal activists to address reforms to the Supreme Court. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California said Biden should “go to the polls in 2024 with term limits” and “wake up the Supreme Court” to that decision. according to To the WSJ.

Biden has said he would not support reforms such as expanding the Supreme Court. state In an interview with MSNBC, he said that if they began the process of trying to expand it, “it would become politicized in ways that are not healthy, probably permanently.”
