In an excerpt from a new episode of the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down President Joe Biden’s proposal for term limits for Supreme Court justices.

In the full episode, they further discuss Biden’s proposed Supreme Court reforms, including an ethics code and a Constitutional amendment declaring that former presidents do not have immunity from criminal prosecution.

Preet and Joyce also analyze the developments in former President Donald Trump’s criminal cases:

– Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s brief urging a New York judge to uphold Trump’s Manhattan conviction, arguing the Supreme Court’s recent immunity decision has no bearing on the case; 

– Next steps once U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan regains control of Trump’s prosecution in the D.C. election interference case following the Supreme Court immunity ruling; and 

– Special counsel Jack Smith’s forthcoming appeal of U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s order dismissing the charges against Trump in the classified documents case.
