THE SUPREME COURT PROBLEM

The 2024 Elections are a done deal — a fait accompli!

However, regardless of whom we voted for, All is not well in America!  Americans are on the brink of losing their FREEDOMS!

The unvarnished truth is that our long-revered Constitution is being misinterpreted by lifetime-tenured justices and we can no longer depend on them to protect our FREEDOMS!

Realistically, the obsolescent notion of lifetime tenure for Supreme Court Justices, or any public servant, for that matter, has run its course.  In fact, lifetime tenure is, the problem!

WHY?  Like any other human being, Supreme Court Justices are not infallible.

Let me say that again!  Supreme Court Justices are not infallible.  They're just people!

Like other human beings, Supreme Court Justices are prone to make emotional, corrupt, politically-biased or self-serving decisions NOT favorable to every American.

Although Supreme Court Justices have always had their own views and political biases, not so long ago they had to keep their personal political biases to themselves or be criticized by other justices and constitutionalists.

Now, in the MAGA era, they have no qualms making judicial decisions that support their own political views — NOT AMERICANS.

In addition, their biased unpatriotic decisions can only serve to encourage anti-constitutionalists to continue pursuing their seditionist plots — aimed at ending our freedoms.

Americans should not be surprised if, in January, 2029, a January 6th type INSURRECTION takes place all over again.

So, what can we do about this possible horrendous situation?

Answer: To ensure fair and impartial Supreme Court decisions, NOT based on their politically biased or corrupt self-serving views, a Constitutional Convention to effect various needed constitutional updates — amendments — that will limit the antiquated lifetime tenure of Supreme Court Justices must be convened as soon as possible.

Hence, we hereby propose, our Supreme Court Even-Number Solution!

The way to end politically-biased decisions is to increase the number of Justices to an equally-divided, 10-member (Five Democrats + Five Republicans) Supreme Court.  After all, isn't EQUALITY what democracy is about?

We know our “Even-Number Solution” does not sit well with many individuals who are satisfied with the status quo.

Neither does the JANUARY 6th INSURRECTION sit well with all American patriots!

If the Supreme Court is not updated soon, in the near future, a tyrant will rule our lives!

Only those who see themselves as superior to other human beings would be against our proposition!  To their minds, every human being is NOT created equal!

Our rationale: As promulgated by our "Even-Number Solution", an equally divided (5 Democrats + 5 Republicans) Supreme Court would prevent one-party justices alone from making judicial decisions for the whole court.

NO FINAL DECISION can be made without a Supreme Court MINIMUM, BIPARTISAN, 7-JUSTICE OPINION.

The current, antiquated term of Office for Supreme Court Justices must be limited to 10 years.

Further, constitutionally, U.S. Judicial and Executive branches are independent.  Consequently, no Supreme Court nominations shall be made by the Executive.

Additionally, an even Supreme Court Nominating Committee (also, "NC"), consisting of (2 majority members) + (2 minority members) to be appointed by both Senate majority and minority party leaders shall be created — the sole function of which shall be to unanimously scrutinize and approve or disqualify the nomination of any Senate-referred, Supreme Court candidate whose status report shall be promptly sent to Senate leaders by the NC.

Additionally, to avoid a repetition of Mitch McConnell's politically-biased stunt, denying a Senate vote for Merrick Garland's nomination in 2016, once a nominee is "unanimously approved" by the Nominating Committee, said nominee shall promptly be referred to the Senate for a mandatory, 30-day period Senate vote.

As always, naysayers will argue that convening a constitutional convention and ratifying Constitutional Amendments is a difficult task!

OF COURSE IT IS!

However, historically, when constitutional amendments were of great importance to Americans, they were ratified relatively quickly.

For example, in 1933 it took less than a year to ratify the 21st Amendment, which repealed Prohibition.

Also, the 26th Amendment, that lowered the voting age from 21 to 18, was proposed in March 23, 1971 and ratified in July 1, 1971.

ONE HUNDRED DAYS!

So, don't let anyone tell you that ratifying an amendment that aims to save our constitution itself is impossible.  IT IS POSSIBLE!

Likewise, if nothing is done to rectify our Supreme Court problem, the loss of our rights and freedoms is also possible.
