The Supreme Court is adopting its first code of ethics, in the face of sustained criticism over undisclosed trips and gifts from wealthy benefactors to some justices.
Oh they can pass a constitutional amendment, it just won’t be about term limits for SCOTUS. It would be more like denying access to abortion, presidents serve for life, or some other Christian-Nationalist shit reasons.
At this point in history, an amendment stating that 11/13 is Chocolate Chip Cookie Day would be impossible. Literally nothing could be popular enough to get past this process:
“An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.”
And?
They can’t even pass a budget that should be an automatic process. You really think they can handle a constitutional amendment right now?
