Okay, if you think this is going to be some diatribe about their recent rulings on Obamacare and same sex marriage, you are wrong. Sure, I think Obamacare is a mess and destroying our health care, but most of the country feels the same way. And, when it comes to marriage equality in my utopian world, everybody can do whatever they want as long as it's not a crime or hurtful to another individual. God bless and I salute them all.
Of course, when you start turning arguable moral issues into law, you're walking a very fine line. And let's wait to see how these nine idiots rule when the inevitable happens and somebody wants to marry their sister. Or their Jack Russell Terrier.
But I digress. My big issue with the US Supreme Court is its basic concept.
Hello? It doesn't work anymore as it was originally designed. It's now nothing more than a fight you would see on MSNBC or Fox News. A reality show in black robes. A big competition. And, when a ruling is handed down, the score is reported like it's on ESPN.
5-4. Oh, good, Clarence Thomas must have hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth.
Once this clown car of nine became a political operative, the whole, civilized process was doomed. It started back in the 30s when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt figured out that he could start to stack the deck the way he wanted to with his justice appointments. And, this has continued on in a taffy pull of political bias to this very day. I laugh at all the numbskulls who were euphoric about the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage. These same dummies were condemning the same process back in 2001 when they effectively made the second George Bush President.
Trust me, knuckleheads, the Supreme Court was broken then and it is broken now.
In Len's world, the Supreme Court exists in a completely different fashion. You want nine Justices overseeing the tenets of the US Constitution? Fine. But it should only continue in this manner.
No more life time terms. I mean, let's face it, we were hearing that Ruth Bader Ginsberg was dying back in 2010. Yet there she sits. Taking up space at an advance age and probably incontinent, to boot. Nope, Len's thought is you get 12 year terms. And out.
In Len's world, these Justices are voted in by national election. Don't we already vote for local and county judges who we have no idea who they are in the first place? Why can't we do that for six of the Justice spots?
Why six, Len? Because, in my utopian universe, there can be no more than three liberal and three conservative judges. That way, they can get their opinions but they essentially cancel each other out. Done.
The whole Supreme Court is shepherded by three Chief Justices, culled from the ranks of the legal specter but avowed independents. No political affiliations whatsoever. Those people are rare, but they do exist. Heck, I'm one of them, but all my legal experience was developed by watching Perry Mason reruns on Me TV.
Is this at all possible? I think so. And, until the day comes when we make this crucial change to the Supreme Court, we are all morons. For letting this travesty of a court to continue.
Meanwhile, is Ruth Bader Ginsberg still alive???????
Dinner last night: Stir fry vegetables.
