President’s proposals include term limits for justices and constitutional amendment on presidential immunity
Kamala Harris has backed a sweeping set of reforms to the Supreme Court proposed by President Joe Biden as the standing of America’s highest judicial institution emerges as a flashpoint in November’s election. “In the course of our nation’s history, trust in the Supreme Court of the United States has been critical to achieving equal justice under law,” Harris said in a statement on Monday.
“In recent years, extreme opinions the Supreme Court has headed down have undermined long established civil rights principles and protections.” The Supreme Court has come under attack, particularly from Democrats, following a series of controversial rulings by its conservative majority in recent years, including a landmark decision in 2022 that struck down nationwide abortion protections.
