We have a constitution now. End of story.
And the Constitution allows for amendments that could easily reform the SC back to its intended purpose...which it has FAR exceed.
Proposal - An Amendment that basically imposes:
- SC justice term limits
- Ability for a 3/5 vote from the House and Senate to override a majority opinion without being subject to Presidential veto
- Ability for 3/5 vote of the state legislatures to override a majority opinion
One only need to look a decisions like Marbury v Madison, Dred Scott V Sandford, Wickard v Filburn, Plessy v Ferguson, Korematsu v US, and many others to see that we need a remedy against a tyrannous and all powerful SC.
already have the power.
Juries Are Allowed To Judge The Law, Not Just The Facts
the supreme court is not the highest court of the land
the people are.
Your link is about JURY nullification, of which I'm a big fan. It is indeed a powerful tool in the fight against tyranny and unjust laws.
But you miss the point: There is no jury when the Supreme Court renders a decision.
Sorry, but your link has no bearing on my point.
but you know how it is with all that xbox and nintendo competition
If that was your attempt to be snarky, you've failed miserably.
