He may be. It's not his call until it gets to his desk.

I think it's more likely that a Democrat- controlled Senate might impose ethical rules that are I hope identical to those on the rest of the judiciary. Sure there will be holdouts for whatever reasons, but Biden would sign that.

Kamala Harris would likely sign such expansion legislation imo. She's an actual attorney.

It's not his call, but he can still whistle his preferences. (And Joe is also an actual attorney, and was on the Senate Judiciary Committee for years -- some as chair, IIRC.)

He was not a practicing attorney to my knowledge, so I forget about his law degree.
