I wish the Constitution had an Amendment which mandated that the Supreme Court quote directly from the Constitution to explicitly show that every decision was within the scope of a federal court and also that the decision was in keeping with the intent of the Constitution. We wouldn’t have abortion, we wouldn’t have gun control — we wouldn’t have a lot of things.
Further, I’d like the President and also Congress to have veto power over the Supreme Court — if the US Supreme Court quotes the Second Amendment and then says THEREFORE AR-15s are illegal, the President should be able to say “Not so fast! That makes no sense!” and veto that decision. With any two branches in opposition as to the constitutionality of a decision, the third branch should be able to step in and say “I side with this or that”.
My overall feeling is that the federal courts are the hardest part of government to properly handle. And I think we failed. Looking at the Supreme Court’s history, I think it has done very poorly. The Constitution failed. The Court is too political and it has used power inappropriately and there has been no mechanism to stop it.
My little proposed solution above may not be good. But we need to reinvent the Court. The Constitution, as written, got us into this mess. It needs some kind of fix.
Yours is a good idea, an attempt to address the absence of check/balances on the Supreme Court. The constitutional balance was supposed to be impeachment. I think routine impeachment for bad rulings would work. In other words impeach judges as easily and routinely as Dimwitcrats impeach DTrump every one whose opinion or ruling exceeds the constitution.
