    The supreme court does not have authority to change the constitution or to usurp authority it doesn't have.

    Ehh, no. We should be reducing the powers of the President, but that will only happen when Congress reasserts itself.

    If Congress did their frickin' job, there would be no need to reduce the powers of the executive branch.

    Nope. That requires a Constitutional amendment. Congress can't change the Constitution. Only the States can.

    Nope. Congress has transferred many of its powers to the President through legislation.

    Biden and congress can and should add members to the Supremes. Trump/McConnell deliberately cheated to get a biased , controllable court. Congress can water the crazies down.

This includes aiding foreign enemies who desire for Democracy to be destroyed from within, violating the law it was put there to defend that being Constitutional law and being a right wing extremist threat to voting rights at becoming a terrorist organization that has alienated itself from defending Democracy, defending U.S. Constitutional law and defending the well being of society. Not only has tRump killed the republican party by causing it to be a un American cesspool of treason, sedition and other destructive endeavors against society and humanity but also SCOTUS too at being packed with right wing extremists who are a threat and a serious liability. Also as a result of the constant urge to vote, why have a SCOTUS that has become a mob of so-called republican dominated and unqualified tRump cronies who are a threat to voting rights. This in order to suck up to the will of this lawlessly hacked in criminal against humanity tRump? This includes these so-called justices of sedition who have betrayed society who have failed America.

    A Harvard law professor on whether it’s time to rethink the nation’s highest court.

    Author’s note, October 27: This conversation occurred in October 2018, shortly after Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. After Amy Coney Barrett’s rushed confirmation to the Court, just a week before the 2020 election, it feels newly relevant.

    When he was arguing for the ratification of the Constitution, Alexander Hamilton wrote that the judiciary “will always be the least dangerous branch to the political rights of the Constitution,” in part because he believed the federal courts would stand above the political fray and act as a bulwark against tyranny from all directions.

    But it’s hard to defend the Supreme Court on these grounds today.

    As my colleague Matthew Yglesias has argued, the Court is now a blunt political instrument, used repeatedly to undermine outcomes of democratic governance — often on behalf of corporate interests. And the recent disaster that was the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation has further delegitimized the Court in the public’s mind.

    So it’s perfectly reasonable to ask if we should abolish the Supreme Court, or at the very least strip the Court of its ability to overturn laws that it rules unconstitutional. If the Court is no longer a neutral arbiter of the law, if it’s gradually shape-shifting into a partisan weapon, then maybe it’s time to rethink its role in our constitutional system."

    Scalia was the first Textualist to become a Supreme Court Justice. He did not throw the court into corruption or even off balance.

    I think one textualist on the bench is not a problem. I think even texualists have valuable input to a point.

    So let it be. Amy will work out fine!

    She has to live with her own decisions, and I also believe she is a good person.

    STOP THE PARANOIA AND JUST WAIT YOUR TURN FOR THE NEXT ADDITION TO THE COURT!

    PATIENCE EVERYONE!

    Yes--Congress has delegated much of its authority to the president: trade agreements, emergency actions, etc.
