Quote from: MU82 on January 23, 2026, 07:37:49 PMIt will be interesting to see how President Beshear or President Shapiro or President Newsom handles such power. I'm pretty sure I know how a President Vance would handle it ... and after 3 more years of the current BS, I don't know if our republic would survive it.

The thing is, with this SC, that power is not applied evenly. They ruled against numerous Biden initiatives while allowing all but the most insane things from Trump, such as his ability to fire Fed Reserve members at his whim. The outcome is based on whatever the SC wants it to be and reasons are retrofitted as needed, sometimes to mindnumbing degrees.

The SC desperately needs to be reformed. Personally, I like the idea that each President gets to nominate 2 Justices per term, with the two longest serving members being retired.

When the Philippines wrote a new constitution post-Marcos, they 1) limited Presidents to one term, and 2) made 70 the mandatory retirement age for their Supreme Court justices. I'm all of both when we have to write a new Constitution in 2028.
