[Publius]

Hamilton stated that the Judiciary was the weakest branch. He never foresaw an activist court that would not be reined in by Congress under the terms of Article III. No one considered the possibility of the courts writing law as they have because they were sure that Congress, as representatives of the people and the states, would either circumscribe the domain of the courts or remove errant judges.

What has happened is that Congress lets the courts get away with legislating from the bench because Congress is afraid to actually legislate on certain issues for fear of angering the people.

It's Congress' way of avoiding responsibility by saying, "It wasn't us; it was the courts!"

Congress became too small-as intended-by the 1930’s.

In 1894 number of congresscritters was capped where it is today.

Original congressional apportionment was 1:30000 people. That would give us a congress of 10000 congrescritters today.
