    How is this far right? The right loves the current court, it’s their personal sledgehammer they can pull out to erode our freedoms whenever they wish.

    Just because something had been done for a long time, doesn’t mean it’s a good thing.

    For a long time, the west had kings as governments. We fought a war to get rid of that. The French started cutting off heads to end that.

    For a long time, the church was a key government entity, our constitution explicitly states that the government is entirely separate to the church.

    For a long time, common people had no rights to trial by peers or privacy in their own homes from the government. Again, we have an amendment that enshrines that.

    The Supreme Court has been abusing their power too much and for too long. It needs to change, and one those changes should be to judicial review. No more legislation from the bench.

    • Dismantling the court because you don’t understand judicial review is a far right position. They want power consolidated, not in a tripartite system of government.

        everything I don’t personally agree with is a far right position

        Okay bud. I see I’m dealing with a highly intelligent being. After all, we definitely have a tripartite government when we have a legislative branch that makes laws and an unelected judicial branch that… also makes laws by deciding what is and isn’t constitutional and what rights are and aren’t protected by the constitution.

        Yup, sure sounds like a totally fair and balanced system of government that definitely doesn’t need a major overhaul and sever limits places on it by the other branches.

        But I guess actually wanting checks and balances is a far right position, so, according to you, shouldn’t be done.
