WASHINGTON 鈥� President Joseph Biden released a proposal today to reform the Supreme Court through term limits and a code of ethics. President Biden also proposed a constitutional amendment to reverse the Supreme Court鈥檚 recent decision granting former presidents鈥� immunity from criminal prosecution.

In response, the 老澳门开奖结果 reiterated its previous support for reforms that would reduce politicization of the Court, such as term limits and ethics rules.

鈥淭he Supreme Court serves one of its highest functions when it protects civil rights and liberties. To do so, it must be able to withstand political and partisan pressures, because protecting civil rights and civil liberties will often require rejecting or restraining the actions of political officials or bodies responding to majoritarian sentiment. The 老澳门开奖结果 therefore supports reforms, such as term limits and ethics rules, that decrease politicization of the Court and increase its legitimacy,鈥� said David Cole, legal director for the 老澳门开奖结果.

The 老澳门开奖结果 also supports Biden鈥檚 proposed constitutional amendment to reverse the Court鈥檚 recent decision granting presidents immunity from prosecution for criminal acts committed using the powers of their office, a decision the 老澳门开奖结果 has said grants future presidents a blank check to break the law.

鈥淚n the United States, we elect presidents, not kings. No one is above the law,鈥� said Mike Zamore, national director of policy & government affairs. 鈥淲e applaud President Biden for seeing how dangerous this decision from the Supreme Court is and working to prevent future presidents from abusing their power while in office.鈥�
