My point about that was that they got removed. Are you saying our nation worked because we disenfranchised most of the population?
The split was always 50/50. It’s not like a vast majority of the nation supported slavery
Well at least that way the court is representative, and I’ll remind you that my system doesn’t actually change this.
Representative of what? I already said how the justices are already representative of the people via the President and Senate. Elections have consequences.
The average justice only stays on the bench for 16 years, so just because they have the option to stay on for longer doesn’t mean that they will.
Justices are going to stay till they die or can retire under a President who shares a similar ideology to them.
In short, it already evens out so that on average, four president get to appoint 8/9 of the court. This is no new info.
No. A 2 term president gets 4 (minimum).
You know, the president ends up appointing on average 2.14 justices per term. You made this whole point about how the current system is more separate because the president doesn’t appoint justices as much, but clearly this is just not true.
Yes it is. The Court is far more independent right now than it would be if every 2 term President got 4 justices.
If you count stability as having less appointments, then this is much more stable.
I said stability in the law lol.
This proposed amendment has everything you want, less appointments, fairness, and a more separate court, and you still oppose it. Why? I really hope it’s not just partisan politics.
Lol
A) Appointments are already fair because the people get to decide who is going to make the nomination and who is going to confirm
B) A court isn’t going to be separate if every President makes 4 nominees. You would have President changing every 10 years vs a generation.
C) Republicans weren’t calling for term limits or an end to the Senate when the Dems controlled everything for literally decades
D) The only reason you think the system is unfair was because you and your puppet Hillary lost in 2016 when you had the backing of the media, Never Trumpers, and hardcore Dems.
