House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized President Joe Biden's Supreme Court reform proposal, calling it a threat to the rule of law. Biden is expected to announce the proposal during his visit to Austin, Texas. The reform includes a call for a constitutional amendment that would remove the president's immunity for crimes committed while in office, impose term limits for Supreme Court justices, and establish a binding code of conduct for the high court. Vice President Kamala Harris has expressed support for these reforms.
