Question: Anyone know what the litmus test should REALLY be? Seriously?
The Constitution, but beyond that:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

The Supreme Court was designed to determine whether legislation passed by Congress was allowed under the constitution. It has, however, become its own ruling body, finding -rights- that are outside what the Founders intended. This has been going on for a long, long time. I do not see a path back to the original purpose. However, a good start would be to term limit the judges. Honestly, it is astonishing some of them can live to tomorrow, lrt alone decide the constitutionality of laws.
Scary looking Feminist judges who support abortion-on-demand up until the baby enters first grade.
The Senate GOP would confirm them too.
Yes. Repeal of the judicial presumption of statutory jurisdiction.
Well I agree.
