>resident Biden has agreed to step aside, but not to go quietly. In remarks from the Oval Office on Wednesday, he said in his final months “I’m going to call for Supreme Court reform, because this is critical to our democracy.” What a last spasm by a lame duck, demanding a rewrite of the American founding that Kamala Harris will have to defend or disavow.>The specifics await Mr. Biden’s announcement, but the presidential brainstorm has leaked to the press. News reports say Mr. Biden may push for term limits on the Justices, an “enforceable” ethics code, and a constitutional amendment to override their recent 6-3 ruling on presidential immunity. Much of this is unconstitutional, and all of it is radical.>Mr. Biden once understood this. The left has been calling to restructure the Supreme Court since originalist Justices became a majority. In 2020 Mr. Biden, realizing that such proposals might scare voters, promised to set up a commission to study the question. It eventually issued a 294-page report, which Mr. Biden would do well to consult.>Since the Constitution grants Justices life tenure, how are term limits supposed to work? One scheme, debated by Mr. Biden’s commission, is for Congress to pass a law to redefine the judicial office, so that “after eighteen years of service, Justices become Senior Justices and stop participating in the ordinary work of the Court.” Instead they’d “perform a different or a subsidiary set of duties.”https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/opinion-biden-s-supreme-court-smacking-plan/ar-BB1qDDa7
