Given the tendency of the courts at all levels to usurp the powers of the electorate, presidents and governors, and the legislatures-as well as the judicial system's failure to reign in the barbarian hordes of tort lawyers-I don't think it's such a bad thing to force the public to elect an overwhelming majority in the Senate-or take an interest in local and state judicial elections-in order to keep the courts from becoming tyrants or being decimated by attrition. It's a little easier to say that now that it's carved in stone that the anti-American left can never again get a majority in the Senate, much less an overwhelming one. But the principle of taking an interest in who's a judge-or losing the judiciary by attrition-should not be denied. It extends to all those single-candidate judgeship races at the local level, as well as to elections to the US Senate, and, of course, the presidency. The lesson, again, is diligence. The left wing domestic enemy ran wild until 91101, and is now being defeated-by a resurgence in diligence...

Your saying that crystallized an idea that's been percolating in my mind. The Supreme Court is evolving into our House of Lords. The next step in that process would be for them to start appointing their own successors - the political system has failed, it is in the national interest for the Court to be fully staffed, bla bla bla. I wonder if Ruth has a daughter. It'd be even more appropriate to what they are becoming if they make succession hereditary. if a Supreme Court judge retires it will be impossible to confirm a replacement. So this is what we will become if we follow the current trajectory ( which never happens ). We will have an upper house - SCOTUS, a lower house - congress, and an imperial President. The Constitution will be a theoretical remnant whose authority will be invoked to cover whatever actions the three work out amongst themselves. They will take office by swearing an oath of loyalty to themselves - "so help me me".
