President Biden is calling for a constitutional amendment making it clear any former president could be prosecuted for crimes committed while in office and would not have immunity. It's designed to reverse a recent Supreme Court decision. He also wants the Supreme Court justices to follow an enforceable code of ethics.

The purpose of the Supreme Court is to be part of the system of checks and balances and not to rubber stamp everything that the current regime wants.

Do you think he would say that is democrats had control? I dont think so

Absolutely absurd. The rulings of the judiciary should not be bound by anything but the text of the US constitution. They need to be a check and balance to congress and the president. A code of “ethics” is just extra rules which prevents authentic and legal rulings from taking place
