He can’t do that without congress either, new justices have to be confirmed.

You're correct that Congress has to approve that. I had the wrong word in my original comment. He can nominate without congress and that's the only thing he can do (More specifically the Constitution does not require that Congress expand the court prior to presidential nominations, only that approval is required prior to actual appointment). ALL reforms will require Congress, so Biden announcing reforms is ultimately meaningless, especially when he won't actually try the only thing he can take the first move on.
