It’s not insane. Would you rather we all vote on everything? Look at how that works out for California with voter initiatives or how Gore & Hillary would’ve been presidents of the United States.

My point was that nine robes wield disproportionate power over the legislative branch, the president and 330 million people, often for whimsical ideological reasons that torture the constitution. Are you OK with obviously biased judges exercising such enormous power over us?

The people speak. Our elected representatives cast legislation. Our elected president executes and enforces the laws. But the Supreme Court at times ignores and overrides the authority of the other two branches.

This is not the system the Founders intended. It is madness. Just look at the harm this abuse of power has caused in this country. The recent DACA decision was a disaster. It effectively allows a president to create binding legislation without a single vote from congress. And this is just one of a long string of equally bad decisions that are eroding our constitution.

The Supreme Court is nothing but a glorified kangaroo court that is wrecking this country. Its no wonder people are losing faith in our system.
