This is the most cogent argument I've ever seen for abolishing judicial review.

Actually, 'judicial review' as established in Marbury v. Madison is fine. In that case, they declared a law unconstitutional and therefore null and void. I'm all for fewer laws, and I think that's a fine job for the courts.

The problem is when they go beyond getting rid of a law, and start making their own laws. That's where we are today. Would it be better to throw out the baby of proper judicial review with the bathwater of legislation from the bench?

I think the key concept is: "The US Constitutions establishes a wonderful system of government . . . far superior to the one we live under."

The Constitution version 2.0 come about when Lincoln took office. We are now looking toward version 3.0 or is it 4.0. FDR did even more damage to it.

Well put.
