17. This posting really trivilizes the only sane part of Government

Members of the Court do not "call out" each other either in private, public, or in their opninions. These are not the monkeys tossing shit at each other like in the House of Representatives nor is it the Lords having their spats, al la the Senate. They are civil to one another at the Court and along with it being the only segment of Government where you actually have to have qualifications to fine yourself with a seat is probably what makes it that way. This posting seems to want to put the Court on the same playing field with the House, just a bunch of shit-slingers.
