A court that doesn't represent the poeple

[Soupnazi630]

The supreme Court no longer represents the will of the poeple.

Test your Supreme Court knowledge: In the entire history of the court, exactly one justice has been

a) nominated by a president who didn’t win the popular vote and

b) confirmed by a majority of senators who collectively won fewer votes in their last election than did the senators who voted against that justice’s confirmation......

Donald Trump won just under 46 percent of the popular vote and 2.8 million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton. And Judge Gorsuch was confirmed by a vote of 54-45. According to Kevin McMahon of Trinity College, who wrote all this up this year in his paper “Will the Supreme Court Still ‘Seldom Stray Very Far’?: Regime Politics in a Polarized America,” the 54 senators who voted to elevate Judge Gorsuch had received around 54 million votes, and the 45 senators who opposed him got more than 73 million. That’s 58 percent to 42 percent......

And it gets worse, Thomas and Alito were both confirmed by senators who got less votes than the opposition. That mean 4 out of 9 judges were appointed against the wishes of the majority.

The Supreme Court no longer represents the people.

Opinion | The Supreme Court’s Legitimacy Crisis

There is no crisis.

There is a reason the representative of STATES select the members of the SCOTUS. The court is there to keep the federal government out of the business of the STATES.

It is unfortunate that your OP demonstrates the crisis of legitimacy we have in our educational system.

You have a uniquely distorted view of the Supreme Court.

Not distorted but accurate

The court doesn’t represent the people. It upholds the constitution. Politicians represent the people.

The will of the people. And it certainly does.

No it does not represent the will of the people and never has.

 

[Ecocertifmrl]

Courts aren't supposed to represent the will of the people. That's why states who elect their judges are constantly fucked up.

But I'm still curious to hear that in clear english. Sometimes people are so wrong their arguments become fascinating.

Good lord. "The people" don't get to bend the court to their "will". How stupid are you?

Well, they aren't supposed to at least.

That is however what you conservatives are trying to do.

Like the 9th circuit court?

Thinking more about the OP, would he say the 10 commandments/Bible no longer represent the will of the people?


So the will of the people are children now who can't get it their way/ justify their own evil actions?

Why would you reply in such a way when shown an obvious fact?

Your "fact" is meaningless. It would be like the Yankees on Friday talking about how they got more hits than the Red Sox...who gives a shit.

Who gives a shit if Trump got less popular votes than Hillary? To use a phrase from Hillary, "what difference does it make"?

This is yet more shit that demonstrates why the Democrats lost this fight, and why they continue to lose almost every fight. Even when conservatives are dead set on making the dumbest argument they can think of, the Democrats find an even dumber argument.

Courts aren't supposed to represent the will of the people?

What country are you from?

No, they are not, they are supposed to follow the will of the LAW. Following the will of the people is what got us lynch mobs.

Moron and retard alert. A court, ANY court DOES NOT OPERATE to please the people, it does not operate to enact the will of the people it does not exists to enhance the peoples opinion or the majorities view.

A Court exists to ensure the LAW is upheld. The Supreme Court exists to ensure the Constitution is followed.
