largely the Supreme Court is a failure and disappointment. Of all the flaws of the US Constitution the manner and scope of the US Supreme Court has to be one of the biggest blunders the founders of this nation committed.
- meddlepal 6y agoYou're kidding right? It's probably the one thing they got completely right.
- jcranmer 6y agoI wouldn't say completely--loosening the restrictions on hearing only "cases and controversies" so that SCOTUS could rule on constitutionality in more settings would be preferable to me.
- jldugger 6y agoYou realize judicial review -- the reason people care all that much about the Court -- is not enumerated in the Constitution, right? It was established instead by the court itself in Marbury v Madison.
- syshum 6y agoYou're kidding right? You point to the record of the supreme court, the process for appointing judges, and authority granted to them and you proclaim that there is perfect, the one thing the founders got right... Wow, I really have no rebuttable to that. We clearly view government and systems of justice very different
- spaetzleesser 6y agoI think Congress is the failure by not clarifying laws. It seems they rely more and more on the Supreme Court to do the legislative work for them.
- syshum 6y agoThere is plenty of blame to go around... Congress is very much a problem but their problem normally stems from the creation of a MASSIVE administrative state so they do not actually have to pass laws they just pass a statement that says "X agency will make rules to go Y goal"
