Beyond the Headlines: SCOTUS reforms, Olympic gender boxing controversy, and Laredo’s ‘La Traviesa’ makes history

LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - This past week, proposals are made to change how the nation’s highest court looks, operates, and is accountable for how they commission the law of the land. That’s if President Biden gets his way in a last-ditch effort to leave a lasting mark on his presidency—if not his legacy.

President Biden recently visited Austin, delivering remarks at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library, where he emphasized the need for Supreme Court reforms. However, passing these proposals won’t be easy, as Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson argues that they could erode the rule of law and the public’s faith in the institution. It could all be a political ploy; the reforms are not expected to materialize in any way, in the near-term.
