PoliticsGirl: There's nothing in the Constitution that says SCOTUS is the final word on what's constitutional

[Farmer-Rick]

25. I've been saying this for years

I'm surprised this post doesn't get more rabid attacks. I've posted this exact same issue, and you would think I had asked everyone to get rid of their pets or something.

Anyway, the Supremes have taken on more power than was given them in the US Constitution.

If you took away their power to review for Constitutionality, they would be just like any other court. They would review laws and disputes between states. Whatever is laid out in the Constitution for them to do.

Also there is nothing in the US Constitution that gives Supreme Court Justices lifetime appointments. They gave themselves that too.

They are only there as long as they “hold their office during good behavior,” as the Constitution says. Doesn't sound like lifetime appointments to me.

The legislative branch has the power to determine what good behavior is and can and should impeach them.
