Rep. Joseph Morelle of New York, the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee, sent a letter to colleagues informing them of his intent to file the resolution, which would kickstart what’s traditionally a cumbersome amendment process.

“This amendment will do what SCOTUS failed to do — prioritize our democracy,” Morelle said in a statement to AP.

    They should also abolish the supreme court while they’re at it. Just have the justices be pulled at random from lower courts.

    Maybe get rid of judicial review, too, since that’s apparently just inferred and not an explicit power given to the courts.

      Have you seen the dumbasses that get elected as judges for lower courts? Lowering the bar doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.

      Lot harder to bribe a random pool. Good suggestion. I’d guess you want something like 17 justices though to reduce variability
