Biden wants Supreme Court reform. Is it possible now?

With less than six months in his term, President Biden is turning his focus to Supreme Court reform. He’s pushing for term limits, an enforceable ethics code for the nine justices and a constitutional amendment that would limit the justices’ recent decision on presidential immunity.

Polls show that the majority of Americans are in favor of some types of reform, but how much can the president achieve before the end of his term? And what’s the process to do so?

Host Anthony Brooks discusses the issues with University of Virginia professor of law Bertrall Ross, who is also serving on the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court.
