Certainly one problem is that the checks and balances on the power of

Supreme Court are few and far between. Perhaps a solution would be an

Congress able to override the veto as they can now in the case of a
bill.


We already have that.....It is called a constitutional amendment.......Not
particularly easy but always possible. Rod


The President commands the armed forces, Congress controls the purse strings.
Both are inherently political. The Courts are insulated from partisan politics.
They can only decide cases presented to them, and their only power is that of
the pen. You fellers ought to consider those facts before advocating a system
that would scrap a person's right to a trial by jury and the right to an
attorney, where the President rather than the courts would decide private cases
without even giving the parties the benefit of a trial, and where Congress, that
eternal fount of infinite wisdom, has the final say on those private cases.
