IncredibleHow Clarence Thomas helped thwart prosecution of Trump in classified documents case
Entwined in ethics scandals, the US supreme court justice has now upended two federal prosecutions of Trumpwww.theguardian.com
President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.
He is also weighing whether to call for a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad immunity for presidents and other constitutional officeholders, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.
The announcement would mark a major shift for Biden, a former chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who has long resisted calls to reform the high court. They potential changes come in response to growing outrage among his supporters about recent ethics scandals surrounding Justice Clarence Thomas and decisions by the new court majority that have changed legal precedent on issues including abortion and federal regulatory powers.

Has anyone ever asked the turtle about blocking Obama's nominee a year before elections and then forcing through Trump's a month before one?McConnell has compared Biden's reforms to the Jan 6 insurrection.
In the before times, he was top of the list of who should be toppled out of power. A campaigner of the first order.
Blokes like him are a big part of the erasure of norms and gridlocked partisan shitshow they have over there now.
