Supreme Madness

I want you to imagine something for a moment. Imagine that you lived in a place that was ruled by a few select individuals that could never be voted off or replaced: they were there for life. Now imagine that I told you that that is essentially what we have here now in the United States. Yes, it's called the Supreme Court. On the surface we have representative democracy. Big issues, like abortion and birth control, the internment of Japanese Americans: these are just some of the life changing issues that have been decided on by this unelected, non replaceable body of government. I think it's insane that we leave some of the most important issues, to what I consider to be a direct attack on the democratic ideal. In my opinion, the Supreme Court needs to be demolished, or at least drastically reformed. They need to hold term limits and be able to be fired. We can no longer allow this small group of defacto leaders of our nation to make such important, life changing decisions for all of us. Reform or end the Supreme Court now.
