The founding fathers forgot to put in a check on the powers of the Supreme Court, imo... Congress & the President should have the power to veto and therefore nullify any Supreme Court decision. That seems like something both sides could agree on.
The solution to the problem of partisan judges is to normalize the impeachment of judges.
Anytime a judge votes in a way that can’t be defended by adherence to existing law, they should be impeached.
This would get rid of all activist judges. They will be afraid to write decisions that don’t clearly point to law as the basis for the decision.
I disagree.
I say repeal the 17th amendment and expand the House to 1 Representative per 100,000 constituents.
The Senate was supposed to be the voice of the state and the House was supposed to be the voice of the people.
When Senators are picked by political parties, they represent the parties not the states. When your vote for your Representative is diluted by gerrymandered districts and 1 million other votes, it no longer represents you.
Term limits on the courts would be much more beneficial for progressives than it would be for conservatives.
They can always manufacture a new radical out of any college.
However all of the colleges put together we get a production quota of three Scalia’s per generation. When we get that rare Scalia nomination, we need it to stick.
It’s all about the universities.
The question is, will your theoretical House and Senate be as hostile to Biden as they were to President Trump?
Former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt proposed the idea nearly a century ago.
Biden sees himself as FDR and with his New Deal agenda.
He’s as loony as they get the man-child resident.
“The Senate was supposed to be the voice of the state and the House was supposed to be the voice of the people.”
“When Senators are picked by political parties, they represent the parties not the states.”
Well said. Simple, yet eloquent.
