Is it Time to Send the Electoral College Packing?

[Merlyn_LeRoy 72]

 

The Supreme Court issues "opinions" and court orders telling pretty much any institution or person what to do.

 

Typically it tells them what they cannot do.

 

But whatever you call it, they are taking enforcement action when they do so.

 

No, they are issuing opinions and court orders, which is well within their powers.

It comes down to a political question of what kind of government you want to have.

 

 

I maintain that the abuses of the Supreme Court have converted the United States from the republic it was intended to be to an aristocracy of judges that decide for every person and institution what their rights, liberties and obligations will be. I'm talking about an aristocracy in the sense of what Plato or Aristotle described as political types.

 

Personally I oppose that and I would like to see the elected branches of government take the actions necessary to cut down the arrogance of the courts and reform their exaggerated ideas of their powers.
