Last week, Scotus completed a leftist putsch of our feeble republic. The ignorant here at FR offer nothing to stop and reverse our headlong dive into collective misery.
Yes. It’s not like they’re honoring the current constitution.
Term limits, recall elections, and retention elections for ALL offices should all be part of the mix. Also, having the executive possess sole access to legal enforcement is a mistake. Senator accountability to their states needs to be restored. There needs to be a budget required, and the right for each branch of Congress to make its own rules must forbid any rule that modifies or negates anything in the Constitution (filibuster, for example).
Additionally, I’d prohibit any kind of borrowing except in time of Congressionally declared war. I’d specifically prohibit any kind of taxation of religion. I’d require any deal or treaty to be approved by 2/3rds of the state legislatures, the same process as amending the Constitution, only 2/3 instead of 3/4. I’d also require all such deals/treaties to have a sunset date.
I would require all congressional actions to be less than 10,000 words, and they all would be required to have supreme court input (not advice and consent, but re-working, citing only actual words —penumbras not invited — of Constitution or Law with which in conflict), so that when passed they had already been reviewed and would thenceforth be non-reviewable by any court, the legislators themselves being the ones who could thereafter change them by appropriate legislation. I would replace the federal court system with the state courts and state supreme courts in which a case arises.
