What on earth are these plans? Just keep the status quo. I think the court is the least of our problems. Besides, picking a nominee is loads of fun, especially when neither side likes your pick Cheesy

This is why some people are complaining about the efficiency of this process. I think Truman is doing a fine job running things, but we are arguing over something that shouldn't be an issue.

Regional office holders should not be in the business of appointing judges to the Supreme Court. Let the regions do region things and the federal officer holders do federal things.

I like simplicity. Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking.

FTR, I don't favor making any changes to the court, and I think having regions nominate their own judges to the federal court blurs the line between federal and regional courts.

Why exactly do we need regions having a say in who sits on the federal Supreme Court? Where are all my separation of power regionalists here? What if the federal government had a say on who sits on regional courts?

Well, actually, it does now. That was the point of the "Associate Justices" adopted a few votes ago.

I know, but that doesn't mean I agree with it. Tongue

Well, I have gotten my way most of the time here, so if I don't win here, oh well. But I'll fight my hardest to try to win

Look, it looks really bad as it is, okay. The SCOA will consist of 2 justices and 3 associates? Partly nominated by the regions? The Supreme Court is not a regional court. No idea why regions should be putting their judges on it and taking that power away from the president/senate.

People can't think this is a good idea, right?
