Great article. Wow. Now that the courts have so much more law to administer, it might be time to expand the courts to include more judges so that laws can be speedily decided. Let's start with the Supreme Court, who believes it is intellectual enough to decide technical details concerning the safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals over the PhDs and MDs in the FDA, flight safety controls over the senior engineers and PhDs at airplane manufacturers, and atmospheric modeling over the PhDs in Environment and Biology at the EPA. Since the judges require so much more expertise now, let's go ahead and add 15 more of them with a varety of these specialized degrees. Then we can be confident they can truly be neutral when deciding matters of great import between the people and the moneyed interests.

I'm thinking the lack of decisions, the extreme slowness and backlogs this will cause, isn't an unforeseen consequence, but rather part of what's desired.

300%. This is the conservative dream, a de-governwnce project.

They're also salivating over Schedule F, a plan to make most workers considered "political" appointments, so the executive can fire whomever they want if they don't snap into line.

These are not a political party. They are barbarians coming to sack the nation.

I'm also kind of peeved about the obvious conflicts of interest SCOTUS justices allow themselves. Not only are they unelected, they look biased.

This looks like a recipe for long term discontent.
