BIDEN’S COURT-WHACKING PLAN

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/07/bidens-court-whacking-plan.php

... President Biden’s big stick-it-to the Court plan ... comprises three disparate elements:

1. No Immunity for Crimes a Former President Committed in Office: This would require a constitutional amendment to overrule Trump v. United States.

2. Term Limits for Supreme Court Justices: This would require a constitutional amendment to alter Article III, Section One of the Constitution, ...

3. Binding Code of Conduct for the Supreme Court: Here Biden “thinks” this can be effected by statute, ...

The issue wrt point #3 is whether Congress and the President can constitutionally dictate some "Code of Conduct" on the USSC, a "Code" that would necessarily be subject to future partisan-political manipulations.

Regarding #3: I suspect anything in that regard wouldn't pass the smell test constitutionally,  as the Executive and Legislative branches have no authority - constitutionally, as well as morally - to dictate nebulous "ethical" policies to a CO-EQUAL BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.
