The Supreme Court previously ruled that Donald Trump was immune from criminal prosecution for official acts he did as president.
President Biden unveiled a set of reform proposals to overhaul the Supreme Court including term limits for justices and a more binding ethics code.
With just under six months of his presidency left, Biden said that overhauling the Supreme Court will be a priority. Following the Supreme Court's 6-3 immunity ruling, Biden issued a full-throated condemnation: "This decision today has continued the Court's attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation, from gutting voting rights and civil rights to taking away a woman's right to choose to today's decision that undermines the rule of law of this nation.
"I'm going to call for Supreme Court reform because this is critical to our democracy," Biden said in a national address from the Oval Office last Wednesday.
