Wide Majorities Losing Faith In John Roberts' Supreme Court, Want Term Limits

[Bjorn Against]

39. There certainly needs to be some checks and balances placed on the Supreme Court

The court has far more power than any group of unelected people should ever have. There are checks and balances on the executive and legislative branches, but there are almost no checks and balances on the court. The President can veto a bill passed by Congress, but Congress can override that veto with 2/3 vote. In order to override a Supreme Court decision however it takes a Constitutional Amendment, something so difficut to achieve that it has not been done in over two decades. It is ridiculous to give five unelected people the power to completely change the interpretation of law and making it virtually impossible to overrule their interpretation.

Let's face it the Supreme Court is an extremely undemocratic institution and it needs to have some of its power stripped from it.
