Maybe the lesson for both the R's and D's here is that the Court has too much power? You know, we could get back to the Constitution's real architecture: having elected officials in Congress and state legislatures make tough choices and owning it.

You are an ass**le. We are wishing for her good health and you are measuring for new curtains.

I think you are reading comprehension challenged. I was saying that maybe people are so worried about the court's future that we ought to rethink it's role in America's polarized political system. Of course, I wish nothing but the best for RGB health wise. This point had zero to do with her personally. You know, enlightened people can walk and chew gum pal.

I think at some point, both parties need to have the conversation about term limits for the Supreme court (and lower courts.) Let's say Trump gets re-elected and will replaces RBG and Breyer in the first two years of his presidency. You are telling me that it is right that after just six years, someone can have a lasting impact of our country's most important decisions for the next three decades?

Or lets say Hilary had won in 2016 and was releected. She would've replaced Scalia, Ginsburg, and Breyer. Kennedy and Thomas probably wouldn't have lasted 8 years. That would be a 7-2 liberal tilt for the next decade (or two) at least.

Regardless of political belief, Americans are twiddling our fingers as the possibility of furthering our agendas depends on the health of people in their late seventies and eighties

It is time for a change to the constitution.

With that being said, I am a liberal and wish the best of luck to RBG.

Yep. I remember Jeff Sasse's words at the Kavanaugh hearing. Very relevant.

The Constitution doesn't say much about the SCOTUS' powers. The thing everyone complains about is judicial review, which is a power that John Marshall invented. Thomas Jefferson strongly objected saying it would lead to despotism. Problem is, nobody has come up with a better mechanism for enforcing the Constitution than using the courts, so here we are.

Everybody please pray for her. I'm serious.

Somebody's got to do it, and I'd rather have a panel of educated lawyers who have been vetted than a despot elected by the idiocracy (us).

One thing that could help would be if we had minimal occupational requirements and background checks on Presidential candidates. Make them pass a civics test perhaps?

Very possible she has COVID and they have not yet disclosed. Or she certainly could get it in the hospital. She might pulll through, but she might not. Time will tell.
