“Justices should be required to disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity and recuse themselves from cases in which they or their spouses have financial or other conflicts of interest. Every other federal judge is bound by an enforceable code of conduct, and there is no reason for the Supreme Court to be exempt,” he wrote.

That would pretty much eliminate Congress. Do them then let's work on the Supreme Court.

If you do this, might as well just get rid of the presidency all together. Every DA in the country will be charging the president.

That is a huge nothing burger. It would require a Constitutional amendment which has zero chance of passing.

Dead on arrival.

Love that the Biden puppeteers want term limits for SCOTUS, but not the House or Senate

I'm cool with term limits for everyone in a government position. All the way from President to the fricking janitor at Area 51.

USSC term limits would also require a constitutional amendment, not simply legislation. Joe dumb!

So he's not fit to run for President, but he's fit to rewrite the checks and balances of the Constitution?

I thought 3/4 of the states. May be wrong.

He may as well try to include an amendment that every person would receive $100,000 annually.

Deep State is also calling for a constitutional amendment declaring that presidents do not have immunity from criminal prosecution for any crimes committed while in office, following the Supreme Court’s July ruling granting Donald Trump immunity for “official acts” he committed as president.

Just think of all the dumbass Democrats that will get excited over this, thinking that this is remotely possible. Even worse, Democrats that will get excited and donate to the Democrat Party over this nonsense.

This would have to pass the House and Senate, correct?

An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification


2/3 House (290 or less if vacancies exist)
2/3 Senate (67 votes)
President signs
then 38 state legislators ratify

He’ll need an amendment for term limits too.

None of that is happening.

It's easy to proclaim support for something that you know won't pass.

Border & illegals? Nope
Inflation? Nope
World conflict ? Nope
