Our system of government works best when you have two fairly equal parties having to pitch to legitimately swing voters in order to obtain a majority. I have stated that an ideal Supreme Court would have a 4-4 split with the 9th Justice more of a wildcard that is liable to jump to the other side if one group of 4 goes too far. A lot of our Constitution is clear. The 3rd Amendment, for example, is very black and white. The issue becomes that with other places like the 8th Amendment, the founders stated more abstract goals and did not define within the document all of the terms. Cases involving the latter, unless it is agreed under any standard that the law violates the Constitution (i.e. mandatory remand for any violation of the law, mandatory vehicle forfeiture out of proportion to fine charged offense or possible fine), should involve robust debate an acting solely on the facts of the case rather than use it as a vehicle to enact sweeping changes to the law. The Democrats are becoming more brazenly out of touch with mainstream America. I want that to be curtailed so they don’t go the way of the Whig Party and we are stuck with one party rule. |
