Excellent post!

The framers never meant for the Court of Supreme Whim to have the final say, it was a power it siezed for itself . It’s about time they got slapped down with Article V.

It should be noted that the other two branches like having the Court of Supreme Whim have the final say. It saves them from having to take a stand on controversial issues.

. President Buchanan secretly pushed for the Dred Scott decision thinking it would solve the issue of slavery. Obviously it did not. He also pushed for an COS along with Lincoln, which would have resolved the slavery issue if it could have convened in time. Instead more Americans got killed in the ensuing Republican-Democrat war than any other. We can still avoid making the same mistake this time.

America suffer under a very power-hungry Judicial Oligarchy. The only non-violent way to fix that is to put good people on the SCOTUS. People who truly understand the Constitution.

Thank you for the post!

Should we wake up one day in a fascist state, rest assured the Scotus facilitated our arrival.

Bingo!
Instead of, "Its turtles all the way down.", it is "Special interest politics all the way up."

If 2/3d's of the voter desire a totalitarian government, then we get it - perhaps without an obvious struggle.

It all depends on what we teach the voters.
