First, you say: "Your fantasies are irrelevent to me, no matter how enjoyable they are to you.

Then you say:"What "people" are you referring to? Your writing is as unclear and confused as your understanding of the constitution."

My "fantasies" are "irrelevent" to you, but you ask me another question..........????????

Ok, be inconsistant. I'll answer, anyway. The Supreme Court is out of control. There is no effective check on its power and it knows it. We (including a sitting President) can bitch and moan about that fact, or take action to check its power. Adding more ammendments to the Constitution (as Mr. Frist has proposed) won't work. The Supreme Court will just "re-interpret" it to THEIR liking.

You write: ".....FACT that the Supreme Court is a co-equal branch of government altogether outside, BY DESIGN, the control of the executive and only answerable to the Congress through the Impeachment mechanism."

THAT is a "fantasy". The Supreme Court see itself as a SUPREME BRANCH of Government. THAT'S the problem that must be tackled.

That is false. Unpopular Court decisions have been part of its entire history, read about it you might learn something.

I don't think you understand the constitution very well or are knowledgeable about American constitutional history or politics. There are numerous good books which could help. One really good one is John Marshall, Interpreter of the Constitution by Jean Smith.

Nor does the Court see itself as the Supreme branch of the government merely those unaware of its function and history.
