“Yes, the Supremes will have to rule now. Of course we know how they will rule, but make them do it.”
Whenever a SCOTUS justice is appointed and confirmed by the Senate. They should have to then be confirmed, at the next general election, by the people. If not they are immediately removed from the bench. Then every 6 years after their confirmation vote of the people (IF confirmed) they should be subject to a reconfirmation vote.
Most states require their State Supremes to be sustained by the people on a regular basis. They same should be done for the SCOTUS. I would set it up so that it wouldn’t just be a “popular vote” total for the entire country...but do it on an “electorial” basis similar to the POTUS election...except that the vote in each congressional district would be what would count. IF a justic does not get greater than 50% of the vote in 50% of congressional districts....they should immediately lose their seat.
Make judges accountable to the electorate. I hate to have to do this for I would like to think justices are above “politics”, but the reality is that they are not. So, they are unelected officials making “political” decisions with no recourse. This is just plain wrong.
Yes, since they have appointed themselves as our black robed politicians then they should face a vote. Otherwise they stand as dictators.
