1.Last week, the Supremes came down with a decision on jury decisions. The said that for serious charges, jury decisions had to be unanimous.
2. I wanted to post a thread in disagreement with their view…I’m not a big fan of the Supreme Court….but upon reflection, I found that I could argue both sides, for and against: while I don’t believe that every issue is fodder for the Supremes, I could be in favor of having….not necessarily mandating….unanimous decisions in serious cases.
3. My view is to favor the 10th amendment wherever possible, over the collectivist view that every law and statute and regulation, must be identical throughout the nation.
In order to understand what the Court has stolen, one must have studied the basis on which our nation was created: Federalism.
Remember, the original conception for our government was federalism, "... a system of government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and constituent political units (such as states or provinces).
Federalism is a system based upon democratic rules and institutions in which the power to govern is shared between national and provincial/state governments,..."

4. In most cases, the states should retain their sovereignty, and make their own laws and rules. At the time of ratification, states were believed to retain a great degree of sovereignty.....that was baked into the recipe.
"Laboratories of democracy" is a phrase popularized by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis in New State Ice Co. v. Liebmann to describe how a "state may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country."[1]
This concept explains how within the federal framework, there exists a system of state autonomy where state and local governments act as social "laboratories," where laws and policies are created and tested at the state level of the democratic system, in a manner similar (in theory, at least) to the scientific method. An example today would be the legalization of marijuana in Colorado despite the fact that it is illegal federally.
The Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides that "all powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This is a basis for the "laboratories of democracy" concept,…” Laboratories of democracy - Wikipedia
That basis for the Constitution’s ratification certainly puts restrictions on the Supreme Court’s statism...'put restrictions' in the past.
Of course, now it is accepted as the 'king' of America.
