Ha. Good luck with that, seeing as it'll be the supreme court ruling on the constitutionality of any law that's passed. In short it'll take a constitutional amendment to do anything, and that's not happening in this political climate

He can kill them all and declare it an official act
Who would enforce the code of conduct on the supreme court would they have to be charged by a lower court? Or would it be congress or the president?
This has been a long time coming. here's hoping the US gives Kamala a blue Congress so we can enact these changes.
Would have been nice to add insider trading by anyone in government to this list
Or any trading that isn't just a basic market tracker.
Add term limits for all government leadership and legislative positions, too. Go back to making Congress a volunteered position where they hold a regular job back at home.
I disagree with the volunteer part because the boss could hold their job over their heads if they don't vote how they want
And throw in an age limit too ..... start off with anyone over the age of 70 shouldn't be allowed to continue in political office.
True. If we're expected to retire at 65, so should they.
"You can now only retire at 90!"
it's a testament to how corrupt the court has gotten that just four years ago public sentiment was steadfastly against reforming the court.
It also seems to be a testament to how nothing (barring term-limits) is gonna be done. The previous laws and regulations were perfectly adequate until the supreme court ruled "uh-uh." There still seems to be a perceptual disconnect between those not playing fairly and the Democrat~~ic~~ establishment.
And that's how much damage one lunatic republican can do when in office. Four more years of it without some kind of safety net in place will destroy the country as we know it. Thanks for ruining everything good republicans!
If you think the issue lies in one bombastic and opportunistic president, and not our deity-like elevation of these lifetime-appointed robed clerics who are the only ones we entrust to interpret the constitution as if they have some divine patriotism, then you have been oriented by the democratic party away from what would otherwise be discontentment with the political system, and instead against the republican party which, as it just so happens, makes you fall in line with the democratic party and their fundraising strategies. The democrats desperately want you to ignore the gaping insecurities, volatility, and exploitation in our political system and instead instill a fear of Republicans.
Trump merely saw how easy it'd be to capture our judicial system that was devised by 20 year old white slavers only 4 generations ago. He correctly identified how the Supreme law of the land is all based on a flimsy interpretation of the honor system: we appoint justices for life and basically just trust them to play nice for their entire tenure without provisions to deal with judicial capture. It's honestly a miracle we've gotten this far without more judges being captured.

Still notice how much smarter were those 20 years old white slavers than most of today's 40 years olds. They've actually designed something that works.
Think of this as a stress test, it point out the holes in the system now rather than later.
Showing the holes is one thing, actively boycotting solutions/fixes/patches is another story
It's showing more holes than we would like to see. Especially in the process of fixing any holes.
