Watch live: White House holds briefing day after Biden unveils Supreme Court reform plan

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will brief reporters Tuesday afternoon, as President Biden’s call for Supreme Court reform garners headlines but faces long odds of approval in the present Congress.

Biden’s move to increase accountability for the high court’s official actions and the ethical standards of its members represents a change in course for the president.

Although he stressed in his statement Monday that he remains committed to “the separation of powers laid out in our Constitution,” the president characterized recent Supreme Court rulings, including one giving former presidents immunity for “officials acts” performed while serving in office, as inconsistent with that very principle.

Biden noted cases that have weakened the Voting Rights Act, limited access to abortion and shielded presidents from prosecution. He also said he believes that the Supreme Court has demonstrated inadequate internal checks against unethical behavior by its own justices.

The briefing is scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m. EDT.

Translation: Supreme Court isn't behaving the way we want, so we'll just call them illegitimate and try to manipulate the separation of powers.

I will be so glad when this DEI pathetic press secretary is gone. She'll go down in history as one of the worst press secretary ever.

6 months more of a Muppet for a president. Not fit for trial, or to rerun, but can still function as potus?

We want term limits on senators and representatives. Nobody ever said anything about the Supreme Court.

[dylacat]

I feel that all members of the senate should have term limits as well. Many stay in too long and lose touch with what's going on out here in the real world.

I understand the live filming starting late but why can't you delete the 45-50 minutes once video isn't live?
