Biden calls for supreme court changes and decries Trump immunity ruling

President calls immunity principle dangerous' in Austin speech, and proposes code of conduct and term limits

Joe Biden, in a Monday address calling for sweeping reforms of the US supreme court, said the recent decision granting some immunity to presidents from criminal prosecution makes them a king before the law.

Speaking in Austin at the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the passage of the Civil Rights Act, Biden said a president was no longer restrained by the law and that this was a fundamentally flawed [and] dangerous principle".
