00:00El presidente Joe Biden propuso cambios radicales en la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos, que
00:04según él, eran necesarios para controlar una corte dirigida por conservadores que estaba
00:09siendo utilizada como arma para socavar los principios y protecciones establecidos de
00:15los derechos civiles. Biden dijo que trabajaría con el Congreso para promulgar las reformas
00:21que influyen límites de mandato y un código de conducta vinculante. Así presentó estas
00:26polémicas propuestas.
00:27I am calling for a constitutional amendment called no one is above the law amendment. It
00:36holds, and I mean this sincerely, it holds that there is no immunity for crimes former
00:46president committed while in office. The decision can be boiled down to the title of one case,
00:51one versus the United States. The court asserted it was making a ruling for the ages. That
01:00isn't true. The court made a ruling for one, a former president.
01:07The second thing I'm asking for, we've had term limits for presidents of the United States
01:12for nearly 75 years after the Truman administration. And I believe we should have term limits for
01:19the Supreme Court justices of the United States as well. I believe the best structure
01:23is the 18-year term limit. That would help ensure the country would not have what it
01:28has now, an extreme court that's a product of an attack on the confirmation process that's
01:35been weaponized by those seeking to carry out an extreme agenda for decades to come.
01:41And third, I'm calling for binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court.
01:58Supreme Court's current ethics code is weak and even more frightening, voluntary, voluntary.
02:05Any code of Congress must be enforceable. Under the reform I propose, justice would
02:11be required to disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity, recuse themselves
02:18in cases in which they have, they or their spouses have a financial or other conflict
02:22of interest.
