President Joe Biden was pushed out of the 2024 presidential race by his own party, but he's still desperate to chalk up a win for his side.
The elderly, lame-duck president promised last week to move forward with constitutional reforms to alter the U.S. Supreme Court in the wake of the immunity decision that heavily favored former President Donald Trump with regard to his legal cases.
According to Fox News, Biden, who originally opposed "reforming" the high court, has reversed his decision and now vows to get it done before he leaves office.
Many believe he's only making the bold proposals to save whatever legacy he might have a shot at cementing before he leaves office as one of the worst presidents in U.S. history.
Biden's proposals as far as reforming the Supreme Court are extreme, to say the least.
Fox News noted:
The president is expected to propose setting term limits for justices on the Supreme Court, which would require a constitutional amendment, and establishing an enforceable code of ethics, which could be enacted by Congress, Politico reported.
The 81-year-old president is also expected to announce support for a constitutional amendment that would essentially limit immunity for presidents and other high office-holders in the wake of Trump's immunity decision.
It's laughable to think that Biden, the most ineffective, lame leader in modern history, will have the political fortitude to convince enough members of Congress to take such extreme, desperate measures.
Fox News noted what it would take to amend anything:
The framers of the Constitution intentionally made it difficult to amend. A two-thirds majority of both the House and the Senate needs to pass any proposed amendment, which is then sent to the states for ratification. It must be approved by three-fourths — 38 — of the 50 states to become the supreme law of the land.
There are not many, if any, political observers, pundits or scholars who believe that such actions will ever be close to taking effect, making many wonder why he's wasting his time on that instead of helping working-class America recover from his disastrous policies that led to record inflation and economic turmoil.
Biden's proposals were largely mocked and written off by many across social media.
"First off, saying 'Biden to propose' anything is disingenuous. Biden doesn't know his own name anymore," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "Unconstitutional and illegal. SCOTUS will invalidate it."
It's almost sad to see him waste his time on such silly ideas.
