"Seriously asking both sides, who's against term limits?" - Andy Roddick reacts to US President Joe Biden's new reforms endorsement
Former World No.1, Andy Roddick recently reacted to US President Joe Biden's proposed reform close to the US presidential elections. Roddick, a former US Open winner, made his intentions clear with his comments on the reforms made to the Supreme Court.
Biden recently endorsed having term limits for Supreme Court justices, a Code of Conduct for the Supreme Court, and removing immunity for crimes former President committed while in office.
Roddicks reacted to the endorsements as he wrote via X(Formerly Twitter):
"I’m seriously asking both sides. Who’s against term limits? Who’s against a code of ethics for the highest court? And who’s against rules that prevent presidents from being above the law? And why? Be specific, " Roddick wrote
Roddick later continued the conversation by responding to replies from fans, by talking about people having the power to elect Congress:
"So early most common answer …. “Not until they’re put on Congress//Senate !! “. Minor difference is that Congress ( many many morons, but still) gets elected by the people. Not appointed. Surely people understand this right ?
He added:
And for what it’s worth, I’m pro term limits in general. It’s just not based in reality to treat appointees the same as someone elected by the people ….. different levers, and not the same bucket" Roddick continued
Roddick had an eventful career spanning over a decade. The American star reached 5 Grand Slam finals throughout his career, winning one. His sole Grand Slam victory came at the 2003 US Open where he defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero in the finals 6-3, 7-6 (7-2), 6-3.
