"Cruz' plan does the opposite. It will make the Supreme Court sync up more closely with the other branches of government that are themselves more closely synched with the whims of the masses."

I agree. There is a danger there. But what's the alternative? We've had the worse case for some time now. A court that unilaterally decides to refuse to protect unborn life, and now redefines marriage.

One alternative is to have congress start impeaching. That would be easier than a Cruz's amendment. But long term the retention vote might be easier than an impeachment vote.

I liked the idea posted by another FR of instituting an independent People review and court system...a ‘People’s Court’.

If, like today, Congress refusing its duty, these bodies can review and recommend to the P. Court where they prosecute activist judges.

Now, how that would actually work out, be setup, funded, etc....But the idea of a body beholden, staffed and looked after by those that have NEVER, nor WILL be a lawyer, judge or politician...
