I fundamentally see this as a consequence of the original sin of Senate. Article I, Section 3, Clause 1 and Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 work together to make the Supreme Court a reflection of state values rather than popular values. Any time the two drift apart - due to changing popular opinion, migration, etc, the difference is reflected in political tension. There's no viable escape hatch for popular grievances against the supreme court (impeachment is non-viable again, because the Senate structure) which puts us in a precarious situation. I don't see a viable way forward since amendments also follow a state structure given Article Five. |
