BREAKING: President Biden calls for "three bold reforms" to fix our corrupt MAGA-infected Supreme Court amidst a worsening legitimacy crisis — enraging Republicans in the process.

And it gets even better...

First off, Biden is calling for a constitutional amendment called the "No One Is Above the Law Amendment." It would ensure that presidents do not have immunity for crimes committed while in office.

"I share our Founders’ belief that the president’s power is limited, not absolute. We are a nation of laws — not of kings or dictators," writes Biden.

Biden outlined his proposed changes in an Op-Ed in The Washington Post entitled "My plan to reform the Supreme Court and ensure no president is above the law."

"This nation was founded on a simple yet profound principle: No one is above the law. Not the president of the United States. Not a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. No one," Biden wrote before going on to shred the court's absurd ruling that Donald Trump has presidential immunity from prosecution.

President Biden is also calling for 18-year term limits for the justices instead of the lifelong tenures that they currently enjoy. The current system insulates them from the consequences of their actions and invests them with far too much power.

"It would reduce the chance that any single presidency radically alters the makeup of the court for generations to come," explained Biden.

He also called for implementing a binding and (most importantly) enforceable code of conduct that would require the justices to disclose the gifts they receive and to refrain from public political activity.

This rule would be devastating to crooked justices like Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. The former racked up headlines for blatantly taking bribes from wealthy Republicans and the latter has displayed support for the January 6th insurrection and MAGA more generally.

Biden is also calling for the judges to recuse themselves from cases in which they or their spouses have some kind of conflict of interest. 

"We can and must prevent the abuse of presidential power. We can and must restore the public’s faith in the Supreme Court. We can and must strengthen the guardrails of democracy," wrote Biden.

"In America, no one is above the law. In America, the people rule," he concluded.

Please retweet.  if you support Biden's Supreme Court reform proposals — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity.

So they’re calling him “Duckin Don”?

 

A huge missed opportunity there…

 

First of all if you’re going with “duckin”, call him Donald Duck!

 

But really they should be calling him Dodgin Don or Dodgy Don. Reminds people that he was a draft dodger. Maybe they don’t wanna make it seem like they’re making light of his assassination attempt though.

Remember when Elon took over Twitter and said that he was a "Free speech absolutist"? Well he absolutely suspended an X account called @dudes4harris which had organized a fundraiser for the Harris campaign, raising almost 4 million dollars:

Musk plays on the fence to manipulate talking points and create more activity on X..

having said that ,  it’s no different than trying to incite a riot or war.

 

    On this topic ,.   He shows his true colors of a RUZ oligarch..   trying to dismantle or disrupt in politics of a Democracy 

 

He should be persecuted for it .

 

         Meddling in an election ,.  There is a law for that.

.. and the fact it’s on social media disrupting and effecting 10’s of 1000’s ( it’s a virtual football stadium or larger) and a political campaign were millions are invested.

 

He should get jail time and a massive fine to set an example to others.

Reason why the Dotard family illegally immigrated to the States from Germany in the first place (to avoid conscription).  It's in his DNA.

I'm sure all the people who criticized Twitter for "censoring" the Hunter Biden laptop story, will be every bit as critical about this....

 

Right?

I'm 63 and I wish I did as well.

 

BTW, speaking of looking good for one's age, can you believe that Captain Kirk is 93? :classic_blink:
