3/4 isn't large enough in my opinion. The constitution should only be changed when it really needs to be changed and it should be as tough as possible to do so, othewise it would be changed constantly at a whim.

The SCOTUS should stand the way it is, except we need to get originalists on the bench not liberal or conservative activists.

I'd prefer 2/3 to 3/4 and an easier document to change, although 2/3 is far from "easy."

I do not believe in lifetime tenure; it is an abomination. No public servant should have that kind of assurance.

It is no different than the divine right of kings.

And the judges truly have become our aristocracy.
