The Supreme Court Problem, Without the Partisanship | Focus re-run
It's back in the news. Whatever you think, it probably proves the court is a mess of an institution we'd do well to reform.
This Focus https://www.spectacles.news/focus-the-supreme-court-political-unaccountable-and-all-too-powerful/ (originally appeared) on August 29, 2021, under the headline: "The Supreme Court: Political, Unaccountable, and All Too Powerful." Due to the https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/03/opinion/supreme-court-roe-wade.html (recent leak) of a Supreme Court opinion portending an overturn of Roe v. Wade, we decided to re-publish it.-Important References-
