Biden set to announce support for major Supreme Court changes By Tyler Pager and Michael Scherer July 16, 2024 at 17:16 ET President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans. He is also weighing whether to call for a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad immunity for presidents and other constitutional officeholders, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. The announcement would mark a major shift for Biden, a former chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who has long resisted calls to reform the high court. The potential changes come in response to growing outrage among his supporters about recent ethics scandals surrounding Justice Clarence Thomas and decisions by the new court majority that have changed legal precedent on issues including abortion and federal regulatory powers. Biden previewed the shift in a Zoom call Saturday with the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

what took so long? was he waiting to see how many rights the supreme court could take away before he finally did something?
Can you list the rights that the Supreme Court has taken away of the “many”. I might have missed some.
I know they sent abortion to the states so each state could decide but what others?
idk the right to bodily autonomy seems like a pretty big one
now give me your liver, I need it more than you do and will make better use of it
I'm reminded of Andrew Sullivan's infamous, astonishingly tone-deaf "Setting aside the Dobbs decision..." comment. Dobbs is far from a side note for anyone with a uterus.
Setting aside the chance at death, the weight loss from cancer is pretty great.

I wish we could just all have some common sense. Clearly Thomas benefiting from his position, and it is in one of the only roles were it is extremely clear what is right and wrong. Clearly he doesn't deserve to remain on the court. His lack of accountability is amazing. If he were a liberal judge the GOP would wan him gone....if we had people with standards and morals in government, both sides would want him gone.

Thomas is the worst justice to serve in the last 50 years and maybe longer. I don't recall enough specifics from my constitutional law classes to remember other corrupt justices from early 20th and 19th century courts.

Less than a month ago, Justice Elena Kagan suggested the
Supreme Court consider dialing back its review of significant cases on
its controversial emergency docket.
“Our summers used to be actually summers,” Kagan told a group of judges
in California, lamenting the “relentless” filing of emergency appeals.
“We’ve gotten into a pattern where we’re doing too many of them.”
Since then, the Supreme Court’s emergency caseload has exploded.
In coming days, the high court is expected to tackle
short-fuse challenges to President Joe Biden’s latest effort to reduce
student debt and to cut planet-warming pollution by limiting power plant emissions. And the court must decide whether Arizona, a presidential battleground, may require thousands of people to prove their US citizenship
before voting this year. Also pending is a fight over Biden’s
requirement that family planning clinics that receive federal public
health funding provide referrals for abortions for patients who request
it.
The court’s emergency docket – the “shadow docket,” to
critics – is where the justices deal with questions that need resolution
faster than the months it can take to submit briefs, hear oral
arguments and draft formal opinions on its regular docket. The cases
usually deal with the narrow question of what will happen as that
underlying legal process plays out. But the orders can have significant
and immediate real-world consequences.
“There’s just no disputing that this has been a busier
summer for emergency applications, both by volume and by significance,
than any summer we’ve seen in a long time – if ever,” said Steve
Vladeck, a CNN Supreme Court analyst and professor at the Georgetown
University Law Center, who says the court is essentially inviting these
cases by issuing emergency rulings with more impact.
