FWIW -- the average age of the current US supreme court is now
68, which helps explain why SCOTUS cannot seem to relate to the
problems and concerns of the people in the current times.

I just got an interesting email from a reader *NOT* in the United

indifference to the concerns and problems of the majority of

concerns and problems of the majority of citizens"? And how should current
"concerns" influence decisions about constitutionality of laws? After all,
that's basically what they do.
