[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life time appointments need to go. The court needs to be increased to a pool of 50-60 justices that get selected at random to hear cases.

I agree with the lifetime appointments needing to go but such changes would require support and cooperation from our two major parties. The wealthy and powerful folks running our two parties are unlikely to support amendments that will inevitably bring unknown variables into play when those unknowns could effectively weaken the current power and control held by the parties. They prefer status quo over significant change because status quo makes it easier for power to be preserved and maintained. This is why congressional term limits gets discussed occasionally by campaigning politicians but there is never a serious legislative push to make it happen. The power held by our two major parties has become stronger than the power and will of the American people. [/quote]

The Democrats have been feckless, but there's no denying the Republicans are actively working to thwart the "power and will of the American people." Wisconsin is a good example, although it's not swinging back a bit. Texas is another great example - the state legislature enacted a law allowing it to run the elections in Harris County - the largest and most diverse county in the state. No surprise it votes reliably blue. [/quote]
