President Biden is proposing an 18-year term limit for justices, with new rules to stop justices from engaging in political activity.
In Austin, Texas, Biden announced these changes on the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
He stressed the need for reforms to restore trust in the court.
Biden’s plan includes binding rules for justices to disclose gifts and avoid conflicts of interest. He also emphasized the necessity of an 18-year term limit to prevent an “extreme court.”
Most OECD countries have term limits or mandatory retirement ages for their top judges. #trending
