Aug 4, 2024, 03:55 PM

President Joe Biden has proposed major reforms to the Supreme Court, a significant move given his self-identification as an institutionalist. The proposed changes aim to restore trust and accountability to the court and address increasing threats to America's democratic institutions. Biden's proposals include three bold reforms to shorten Supreme Court terms and clean up perceived issues within the court. These reforms have been endorsed by Vice President Kamala Harris and align with legislative efforts by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who has introduced two bills that support Biden's proposals. Representative Dan Goldman also supports the reforms, emphasizing their non-partisan nature and the need to restore credibility to the Supreme Court.
