I agree President Biden’s words, especially after e attempted assassination and Jan 6, are unnecessary, irresponsible, and literally mean the Speaker is a dead man. I cannot justify the language.

Now, President Biden is feeble in both mind and body. I agree he is not in a fit state from a health standpoint to be president.

What is Vance and Trump’s excuse? Could it be they have the capacity and agency to be responsible for what they say?

The Speaker is actively keeping the States who are the co-signers to the Constitution from hearing these amendments.

The other option is 2/3rds of the State legislatures call for a convention to propose the proposed amendment. Ratification process then requires 3/4 of the conventions called to ratify.

I think every amendment to pass since the Bill of Rights has passed through the first option with 2/3rds of House and Senate vote to propose the amendment for ratification by 3/4 of the States. It has become the practical path.

The thing GOP majority of, what 3 or 4, are failing on not permitting a vote on these proposed amendments.

I am not arguing the House must vote by 2/3rds of its chamber. I think it should. I am arguing the vote needs to be had. Let us see who is in favor of keeping the Court so an enforceable code of ethics.

Your arguments are irrelevant to the original question. Did, or did not the sitting President of the United States.

Your arguments are you relevant to the original question. Did or did not the sitting president of the United States written the speaker of the house when he replied he is dead on arrival referring to speaker of the house Johnson? don’t argue, skate or change the question. This is a yes or no question.

I already answered that. Yes he did threaten the Speaker. Let us not forget Trump was just nearly assassinated and how language inspired Han 6.

President Biden should know better. However, the Right cannot have it both ways. Either President Biden has capacity or he is an old man without capacity? I agree he is old and feeble both physical and mental health.

I also agree if he is not well enough to run, he is not well enough to be president.

Now, I do not need your permission to discus Speaker Johnson’s ethical, human failure in not allowing this vote.

Biden is proposing - if it’s really him proposing which is doubtful - term limits for the SCOTUS.
He was in office as a senator longer than ANY supreme justice has ever served!!

What a load of bullshit.

There’s a good reason why Supreme Court justices have lifetime tenure.
They should never be accounting for what their prospects will be after their time in the bench.
Can you imagine the sway that public opinion whether real or perceived would have on the judgement of a Supreme Court justice if they knew they would be thrown into the public arena after just 18yrs on the court?
Thera supposed to be a layer of insulation between political populism and the SCOTUS.
That would erode knowing that the appointment was temporary.

I don't mind some kind of code of ethics, but other than that SCOTUS should be left alone. Stevens and Ginsburg, Renquist and Kennedy should be left to decide for themselves when to say uncle. We've had a Marshal Court, we have a Roberts Court. I'm very glad wishy washy America doesn't get to choose on a whim a change.

Before 1970, throughout our history, Supreme Court Justices served 16-17 years, on average, and we got to 1970 from 1776 just fine.

Yep.

Does anyone seriously believe that Biden would threaten the SOTH with physical harm or assignation?

Perhaps he is unfit to command and the 25 A needs to be applied.

It’s only risotto another leftie because you cannot refute what he said.

You want to spin it but you can’t because every time you spin Trumps comments you get called out on it.

And now we aren’t letting you spin what your cognitively imparted Dear Leader said.
