Biden to reportedly push for supreme court term limits and new ethics code

Joe Biden plans to endorse term limits for supreme court justices and a new ethics code, the Washington Post reported, as an emboldened rightwing court continues to upend US legal precedent despite operating under the cloud of multiple ethics scandals.

But adding justices to the court, as some Democratic members of Congress have advocated for, was not among the reforms Biden is currently considering, according to the Post. Biden has long been seen as unwilling to expand the court.
