Dwain Northey (Gen X)

We are under estimating human nature, or political and judicial system is founded on the assumption that those in positions of power will do what is best and lawful with personal biases. Jurist are supposed to apply the law based on evidence and to the letter and interpretation of said law, the Supreme Court Justices are to apply law on interpretation of the Constitution not their personal beliefs. Well it appears more apparent that many of those appointed to the highest court in the country what to twist the words of the founders into their personal ideology. Separation of church and state, for some, have been omitted from what our founders believed. What is more devastating is that this patriarchal puritan interpretation what’s to remove rights from women and those who don’t fall under their limited world view.

The Supreme Court needs to be expanded, it is not court packing, that is what Mitch McConnell has successfully accomplished, expanding to court to 13 justices would just even out the map since there are 13 appellate courts.

The electoral college needs to be abolished it gives states with very small populations greater power than states with larger populations. It is a sad state of affairs when states that only hold 30% of the national population control 60% of the political power and can make laws that oppress the remaining 70% of the people in the country.

Please read the 2025 project that is the GOP blueprint to roll back our country to nearly pre civil war ideology and if not just try to mirror the regimes of Russia? Turkey, and China with a strong man leader that controls everything and never has to leave office. Not the country I served for or the one my father served for… let’s stop over estimating that everyone will always do the right thing.
