Congratulations England you all won after all. Our political system is no different from 1776. We let people called supreme court justices say, this is what you need to believe, like it or not.

In case you don't know how a monarchy works, the most basic element is that it's ONE person, by heredity, making the decisions. So even if your statement were correct - which it's not - the analogy isn't any good.

True, just 5 unelected and lifetime appointed judges can override the Executive, the Legislature and the vote and will of the American people combined, not to mention every other judges in the Judiciary. All based on claiming, the constitution means and doesn't mean what they say it means, just because THEY SAY SO!

It was never the intent of the constitution for the supreme court to be a super-supreme-legislator.

Well when Hillary wins she will get her left wing nut job justices. They will have rulings that will give more power to the executive branch. Queen Hillary will make all the illegals legal. She will ban all sorts of firearms and magazine capacity. The perpetually offended will be running this country.

No, it sounds like the perpetually offended will be complaining about this country.

You guys need to get the fundamentals down before you throw up, I mean out, such ridiculous analogies. Basics first then you can complain. Good luck.

No Judge should ever be appointed for life. They are insulated from the realities of life.

Robe or not they are all politicians who serve in the best interests of the fed govt. The whole concept of checks and balances is a myth taught in govt education center civics classes.
How else can you explain the fact that about 80 percent of what the fed govt engages in is not permitted by its own rule book a.k.a the constitution?

They created the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution, it has been around for over 100 years but it has suddenly become ineffective because some don't like their decisions.
