The main problem with the U. S. Supreme court is they do not and never have had any natural inclination towards the limits of the Federal Constitution given who hand picks and approves them.

Instead they tend to rubber stamp Washington Doing what they want and only claim the Federal Constitution is violated by everyone else. Which of course had the effect of turning the Constitutions of "Few and defined" powers to one of few and 'vaguely' defined limits.

If we want to use the court to decide what the constitution means then they need to be appointed by some faction that actually has an interest in in its limits which are almost exclusively on the Federal Government.

Thus logically speaking the Federal court should be appointed by the only party that stands to gain from said limits, the States. Maybe even from among their own courts.

I hear what you are saying but the states are polarized, governors, DAs, even the people…. There are actually more red states than blue states which means everyone would be fighting over those purple state votes. Just one more thing to fight over.

@BadApple69 While politicians of any party tend to desire to disregard any limits on their own power for the same reasons that drove them to seek the power via election/appointment in the first place.

It is only in the conflicting interest of other politicians in their own rival power that has any reliable effort to oppose such unconstitutional usurpation. Such conflicts as experience have shown is not as consistently available among politicians who share the same power.

It is for this reason that utilizing the states thou varied and mostly as corrupt or more so is soo central to the design of checks in that state politicians uniquely stand to lose any power the Feds usurp.


Thou the conspiracy of faction may as much drive them to look the other-way, that faction offer them fewer benefits in doing so that it does other politicians of the same goverment which actually does benefit from such conspiracy.

it is for this reason they are more likely to offer consistent opposition than even the people the more numerous factions of which are less transparently bribed.

@BadApple69 To address your question, yes it would be more to fight over at the State level but far less to fight over at the federal level, and overall less to fight over in general as the Government is slowly moved back to a Federal Constitutional republic.

9 works well. This adding judges is just the Left hoping to stuff the bench. They just want to politicize the court… the Left’s ideas like defund the police, no bail, legal drugs are all horrible and this is just one more.

[DryGermanGuy]

Nine, nine, nine, nine, nine!!!

Nine would be fine if it wasn't packed with far right activist judges.

[BadApple69]

So it would be ok if it was packed with far left activist judges?

[normalice]

Far left activist judges would never get appointed.

The only problem. with the Supreme Court is Conservatives pick constitution minded scholars and Democrats pick activist wackos that Don't agree with the constitution at all.
