Supreme Court NomineesOver the years I have watched at least some of the Senate questioning of nominees. That is all needed when the President nominates them. The Senate gets their chance to "advise and consent" to the President. That is all that is necessary. Of course a democrat will nominate either a moderate or liberal judge and a republican will usually nominate a conservative judge, or at least they will think they are. It is pretty simple these days: Each state can have a well-regulated militia (currently the NG) and can use them for quelling disturbances up until they are nationalized. Or not. People can have necessary protective guns in their homes and if they have bothered to learn how to use them safely can actually shoot someone threatening them, obviously. The federal and other local governments can raise income with taxes. If voters don't like that then they can replace them and void the tax increases at least. People can attend whatever peaceful church they wish and can not be stopped from running for office---even of the Islamic religion. Whether we feed and house the poor is a matter of how congress votes. Throw them out if you don't like what they vote. The Supreme Court has Nine members who have a job to do just as does congress and the President of the USA. Replacing any of them one at a time should not be a Independent states in so far as jobs, development, schools, and many other things is a good thing. But each state will have to pay for their own---can't depend on New York, Illinois or California to help with the schools for instance with bucks from DC. |
