Biden's SCOTUS Reforms, With Legal Expert Dahlia Lithwick.

from The Bill Press Pod

In today’s episode, Dahlia Lithwick, the Senior Legal Correspondent for Slate Magazine, discusses President Biden's proposed reforms to the Supreme Court. Lithwick believes that Biden's efforts this time are more meaningful and that it is important to have a conversation about potential changes to the court. She highlights the need for term limits for justices, stating that it would keep ideas fresh and depoliticize the institution. Lithwick also emphasizes the importance of a binding code of conduct for justices, as it would hold them accountable for ethical issues. She mentions that there are bills in Congress to address these issues. However, Biden did not mention increasing the number of justices, which Lithwick believes is outside of what he is willing to support. Bill and Dahlia also briefly touch on ongoing cases involving Stormy Daniels, the January 6th attack on the Capitol, and the documents case. Today Bill highlights the work of The Constitution Accountability Center, preserving the rights and freedoms of all in America and protecting our judiciary.

"The Court has lost all credibility and is now widely considered the legal arm of the MAGA movement."
