USpol; Biden open to Supreme Court reform, though it won't be easy
President Biden is (finally!) ready to push proposals that would reform the Supreme Court, including term limits and an *enforceable* code of ethics. And a constitutional amendment to reverse the Court's "presidential immunity" ruling.
But none of those are things he can get done this term. Dems would need a trifecta.

@kagan people miss that there cannot be an enforceable code of ethics because we value an independent judiciary.
To regulate the judicial branch is to cross the line between separations of power. It cannot happen under the US system of government.
And honestly, that's a good thing.
The Supreme Court needs to be judged on its rulings, not its ethics. If the rulings are good it doesn't matter where they come from. If the rulings are bad it doesn't matter where they come from.
