Biden proposed urgent reform of the U.S. Supreme Court

U.S. President Joe Biden has announced plans for an urgent overhaul of the conservative-dominated Supreme Court, seemingly hoping for accomplishments in his final months in office.

The White House said Monday that Biden called for term limits for justices and a constitutional amendment to overturn a recent Supreme Court ruling upholding President Trump's immunity. Biden also sought "binding and enforceable" ethics rules for federal judges.

The White House said Biden and Vice President Harris both look forward to working with Congress on the plans.

Biden will further unveil the plans in a speech later Monday in Austin, Texas.

"This country was founded on a simple but profound principle - that no one is above the law, not the president of the United States, not even a justice of the United States Supreme Court," Biden said in an opinion piece published Monday.

He added: "What is happening now is not normal and undermines public confidence in the courts... We are now in a gap."

However, some analysts say it is a bold but unlikely move.

Steven Schwinn, a law professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, warned that Biden's chances of getting the plan passed were "close to zero."

He said Biden may be trying to "raise public awareness" and "make the Supreme Court an election issue."

Though a long shot, the proposed changes reflect Biden's growing frustration with the courts, which polls show the public is losing confidence in.
