But nobody even talks about amendments anymore, since we’ve outsourced constitutional changes to the courts.

And increasingly, they've outsourced the basis for their decisions to foreign "precedent."

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

Yep. Very strange place. Somehow those who are in favor of allowing courts to make our most important decisions for us never seem to realize that courts can equally well rule against their pet ideas.

For instance, it is not entirely possible that a terrorist attack could take out the entire Supreme Court. Would a completely new court uphold all the precedents? Who knows? What idiot came up with the idea of giving total power to the single person who happens to be the swing voter on the court?
