The newly minted Democratic presidential candidate has endorsed President Biden's plan for Supreme Court "reform," the centerpiece of which is a proposal for an 18-year term limit that would immediately usher Justices John Roberts, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito off the court.
Biden also wants an enforceable ethics code imposed on the court and a Constitutional amendment saying that presidents don't have immunity from prosecution for their official acts, countering the Supreme Court's recent decision on this question.
As a matter of basic legitimacy, foundational rules of government should be fashioned without knowing which party or faction will benefit from, or be harmed by, them. The term-limits idea, in contrast, is obviously crafted to undo the effect of Democrats losing the 2016 election and handing Donald Trump three Supreme Court appointments.
If the Romans created a desert and called it peace, the Democrats want to blow up the court and call it restored. The court-packing scheme is another way station in Biden's questionable 'reform' proposals.
