In my opinion and my view, if you don’t believe in the Supremacy of SCOTUS as it applies to the law of this land, then you are committed otherwise...
I believe in what the SCOTUS is supposed to be. What it was designed to be by the Founders.
I heartily oppose what it has become. It's a farce compared to the check and balance it was supposed to function as.
And, there is no "fixing" the SCOTUS from within. Life-time appointments make change impossible shy of assassination.
We don't want to go there. Do we?
Repealing the 17th amendment would be the biggest improvement we the people could make.
We are experiencing the exact same problems tenfold that was used as an argument to pass the 17th amendment.
So if you want to get behind something that will change the trajectory of our government, repealing the 17th amendment movement is it.
Completely agree. The 17th shifted that balance away from State interest towards a popular vote. We already have that for the House. The beginning of our slide as a Nation can be directly attributed to the years immediately following this...
You don’t remove one leg of a tripod and expect the load to stay balanced indefinately.
I really don’t care anything about Bundy, to tell the truth. I’d just like to see his case be a catalyst to get this country right.
