A call to overturn the landmark Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide is on the agenda Friday for the justices' closed-door conference.
Not opposed to option 1, but I’d rather see it being part of the RICO act, round them all up as domestic enemies of the Constitution.
Option 2 may be worse than what we have currently. 🤣 You’d have people with no knowledge of the law making legal decisions and in a way where they are completely uninformed.
You want “Idiocracy”? Because that’s how you get “Idiocracy”. 😉
I don’t buy these anti-democracy talking points, the problem in the US has always been that we have too little democracy.
The People are often ahead of the Supreme Court historically - look at same sex marriage. Same sex marriage approval crossed the 50% threshold in 2011 but the Court didn’t reach that conclusion until 2015. Go back farther and look at segregation - the majority of the US approved of desegregating schools and busses at the time of the ruling. If this was a democracy we’d have had those rights possibly earlier because the Court is either in-line with or behind public opinion.
And I know for a fact that a democratic Supreme Court wouldn’t have ruled in Citizens United that bribery is legal.
We wouldn’t really be using our electoral system if everyone was a Supreme Court Justice, it’d be a much more direct voting system without an electoral college and if no result got >50% the Court would be hung and there would be no decision.

You have more faith in the voting public than I do. 🤣 This is the same bunch that elected Trump twice, a second time after 34 felony convictions.
Trump has never gotten more than 50% of the vote.
Don’t have to thanks to our screwed up voting system. Bill Clinton didn’t either.

Honestly better than our shitty elections.
