Biden offers reform ideas to fix broken, politicized Supreme Court

Sherrilyn Ifill, Endowed Chair in Civil Rights at Howard University, talks with Rachel Maddow about President Joe Biden's three-part proposal for reining in the rogue Roberts Supreme Court that is no longer bound by any rules as it decides whatever outcome suits the conservative majority's apparent agenda.

Why not start with term limits on House and Senate members?? Congress has become a glorified senior facility.

No stock trading for ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL

Term limits coming from a guy who made a career as a “public servant.” Congress needs term limits as well. 4 years. Too much corruption otherwise. Also a congressperson should have an office in the worst neighborhood in their district. Then they might do their job.

So it’s politicized and broken only if they follow the Constitution and the Law, and not rule in your favor??

[peterwolf]

If nobody is above the law then that means nobody!

[Kelshando]

Ya when Congress puts those same standards on themselves.

[peterpohle]

There needs to be term limits on Congress and Senators also.

[patriley]

Term limits for all politicians are required.

So when things don’t go your way, first he tries to pack the court with more justices and then tries to do this. He is like the little kid that doesn’t get his way so he takes his ball and goes home

I always love when Sherrilyn Ifill is on. She's brilliant, and a razor-sharp communicator.

[mbradsh]

Perhaps you should be looking at Congress politicians becoming millionaires with insider trading

[Joeycyr]

The fact Nancy P has a better wall
Street trading record than Warren buffet is crazy. But hey. Let’s forgot about that and go to the Supreme Court.

[tjetept]

Never heard a democrat complain about Ruth’s age… why? Because she would always stand in favor for leftists wing policies…

[JJJ-mhtg]

The Supreme Court is not broken. But our news media has been for a long time now.

[MarkHardKnox]

I agree with all of those policies that Biden is trying to change.

supreme court not broken just you do not like conservative majority supreme court judge just meant it?

[ken]

until you can get 2/3 of congress and 3/4 of the state legislators to agree, this is a pipe dream.

[dianebarron]

How did trump cancel his jail and fines ? Who did he pay off . Why Why Why do rules not apply to him

[rbloomer]

Why focus on the Supreme Court? Because you don’t get your way all the time? How about we do this in congress first? Would save us a lot of trouble!

[LurkingFear]

The guy whos been in congress for 50 years suddenly wants to talk about term limits when he's about to retire
