If reports are correct, President Joe Biden would contradict the Constitution itself in order supposedly to save the Constitution from a rogue Supreme Court. He better not even try.
At issue are multiple media reports that Biden plans to propose a package of “reforms” related to the high court. Just about every report says one of the main reforms would be “legislation” to impose term limits on justices. The problem isn’t necessarily with the idea of some sort of term limit. The problem is that no term limit can be imposed on federal judges through ordinary legislation. If Biden really will propose term-limit legislation rather than a constitutional amendment, he is not just wasting everybody’s time but insulting our intelligence.
