    Deciding that an board of unelected life-time appointed elders should be able to decide what the entire country does was maybe not a great idea.

      It’s almost like theories of governance have advanced in the ~250 years since the Constitution was written.

      Good thing we’ve ignored them and largely kept the document as-is!

        Which is weird because the court and executive authorities have dramatically expanded over the years. The court couldn’t pull shit like this when it was established. Seems like the more apparent it becomes that its a terrible idea the more certain people are into it.
