Hi, I'm Mike Papantonio, and this is America's Lawyer. President Biden's calling for a massive reform to the United States Supreme Court, reforms that are long overdue, but face an almost impossible uphill climb before they can ever become reality. A corporate front group has started creating anti-tax propaganda for teachers to use in their classrooms. Their goal is to teach children that corporations are good and should never have to pay taxes. And Republicans, well, they aren't happy with Donald Trump's running mate, JD Vance, and they're pushing for a change in the Republican ticket. We'll see if that happens. All that and more. It's coming up. Don't go anywhere. America's Lawyer starts right now.

In an op-ed published on Monday, president Biden called for sweeping reforms for the Supreme Court, including term limits and code of ethics. The court definitely needs to be fixed, but it'll take more than an op-ed to make that happen. I've got Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins with me to talk about it. Yeah. This is an election issue. This is just being put out there so we can have people get mad about the Supreme Court, and the problem is that they're really, they're kinda really missing the big picture. This isn't gonna, I mean, people who really believe this is gonna happen, it ain't gonna happen. Okay. But anyway, let's pick it up and talk about it.

But I do agree with what he says in this op-ed, and I think honestly, most people probably do, because term limits for the Supreme Court has obviously been something for many years, the public says, yes, overwhelmingly, let's not give these weirdos a job for life. That's not a good idea no matter what industry you're in, but especially a situation like this where they can essentially overturn the executive branch, the legislative branch. Let's make sure that these people don't stay in there until their brains turn into pudding.

Well, Ginsburg, my God, they hauled her out of there in a wheelchair, on a gurney.

And people were upset when everybody said, hey, if you resign, we could actually not, and then.

And then she didn't.

There's always the fights saying, how dare you?

Well, this has zero chances of being approved. You've got a divisive Congress, they're not gonna allow for this kind of thing. The idea of saying now that there's something so different about 200 years of history, you see, it kind of, as I was reading this article, I got to think about the Warren Court. The conservatives went crazy with the Warren Court, if you think about it. It was all about separation of church and state. It was all about, everything was about civil rights, voting rights. They struck down segregation, police arrests. These were all good things, but the right went crazy about it. And what if they had raised it then? They knew then it wasn't even a possibility. Matter of fact, the last time that there's even been any, I think it was 30 years ago, Congress, they passed a bill changing their pay rate. The last time there was any kind of amendment to the Constitution. They changed it for themselves and then they said, we can't do anything else. Right?

Yeah. And it really is difficult. I don't think people fully appreciate.
