Biden delivered remarks from the Oval Office outlining his decision not to seek reelection, his first on-camera remarks since making that announcement on Sunday. In addition to explaining why he is ending his candidacy, he listed off his priorities for his remaining time as president.

“And I’m going to call for Supreme Court reform, because this is critical to our democracy,” Biden said.

Multiple outlets have reported that Biden is considering proposals to establish term limits for Supreme Court justices and an enforceable ethics code for those on the high court.

Call for the moon to catch on fire, too, that would be fun.

Don't get too excited. He knows he has no power.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I declare reform!

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"call for"??? FUCK THAT! just issue a few "official presidential acts" drone striking the corrupt ones, and also anyone who refuses to approve the replacements he appoints.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm hoping he makes a bunch of executive decisions, make a few crazy ones, pardons himself and bounce.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Especially if he invites the supreme court to correct their presidential immunity mistake as his last act. Of course, shit that wasn't illegal when you did it can't (usually) legally be charged after it's made illegal. Ex post facto laws are a hard sell.

That wouldn't be an ex post facto law situation though, would it? There is no new law, just a different interpretation.

"Call for", cool cool cool cool cool

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Continuing to behave as if there's a few brushfires that need put out, instead of a massive forest fire going on around him...well, it just sums the man up for me.

Would have been awesome if he did this at the start when it was obvious where things were headed before they destroyed our government, but I'll take it.
