Until this court, there hadn't been such egregious and reckless displays of bribery at the highest court, so there was no need for this before.

I could understand to some level not liking the term limits, as that is arguably more partisan (although not directly partisan, simply saying "each President should have equal opportunity to fill the benches"). But how you could argue that the supreme court being forced to abide by the simplest code of ethics that every other high level appointment needs to abide by is very rich.

it's cause FlyGuy supports bribery of public officials.

This is entirely a partisan issue, because it has partisan implications. There's a reason it is a subject that has never been broached until some rulings went against the party who has become the more adept and strong-arming its way to its aims. The same reason there has never been such efforts to discover any sort of actions that could be viewed as unethical.

Well let’s be honest it’s because one party broke the unwritten rules of impartiality of the court and stole two court seats.

The party that called for (successfully) the protesting at supreme court justices homes (which did happen and is illegal) leading to an assassination attempt on a judge (another event that's been conveniently memory holed) is concerned with the ethics of the court.

Rich.

Please provide evidence showing where the Democratic Party called for protesting at court justices homes.
Please be specific.

Offhand, 4 million dollars in "gifts" would be unethical?

this subject has been broached many, many times - as HL just showed you, even by hardcore GOP like MIke Huckabee in 2015.

and as those polls show, it's not actually a partisan issue at all - republican voters very much support all three elements of Biden's list here.
