As explained in post #1, there isn't any balance of power. SCOTUS has assumed it all.






Show me any instance of the USSC striking down a Constitutional Amendment, and I'll buy that.

The 'balance of power' is being abused by all three federal branches, and, -- by all State & local governments.

SCOTUS only has as much power as the rest of the political establishment allows it to have.

Granted. And I don't see shifting the balance from one abusing entity to another to be particularly helpful.
