Sounds lovely. Presumably we'll issue them crystal balls or tarot cards to accomplish that end.

Use the same ones issued to the Supremes that they use to discover words not in the Constitution.

BTW, How do you feel about the Senate rules as applied to advise and consent of judicial appointments?

At the risk of being repetitive, we're supposed to oppose that kind of thing, remember? Even when it produces outcomes we like, because that process is inherently illegitimate.

How I feel is neither here nor there - what I know is that, just like due process, "advice and consent" is not defined within the Constitution, which pretty much leaves the definition up to the Senate. That being said, I happen to think that a simple majority vote suffices, so we should either elect Senators who will change the rules accordingly, or change the rules ourselves by amending the Constitution.
