President Joe Biden said in a July 24 speech from the Oval Office that he plans to call for Supreme Court reform in his final stretch as America's commander-in-chief.
"And I'm going to call for Supreme Court reform because this is critical to our democracy, Supreme Court reform."
There has been media speculation in recent weeks that President Biden is considering establishing an enforceable ethics code for Supreme Court justices and ending lifetime appointments to the high bench.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked during a July 24 press briefing whether President Biden was still "Committed" to pushing for Supreme Court reform during his final months in office.
While President Biden has resisted pressure from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party to adopt measures such as imposing term limits on Supreme Court justices or packing the high court with additional justices, he did create a commission to examine possible Supreme Court reforms, including ending lifetime appointments.
Darry Allen Sragow, a Democratic political consultant, told Reuters he was surprised that President Biden mentioned Supreme Court reform in his Oval Office speech.
While campaigning for reelection, President Biden said at a rally in Philadelphia at the end of May that whoever wins the presidential election in November will likely be able to appoint several Supreme Court justices who will probably be retiring over the next four years.
