The courts, our Oligarchy, are responsible for the mass baby-murder by abortion in this country, as also for sodomy being legal & Voter ID laws nullfied. The people did not vote these things. And the Courts, especially the SCOTUS, continue legislating from the bench on such topics-- and any other which they choose to legislate on. We need to restore the Republic & overthrow this Oligarchy of unelected judges/justices (practically unremovable from office).

Judicial Reform:
1) 10 year term limits on all judges,
2) recall elections upon demand by either House of Congress by simple majority vote,
3) no more than 4 of 9 SCOTUS justices may be lawyers,
4) If both houses agree by majority vote that some judge/justice has Legislated from then Bench, then at once the decision is vacated & the offending judge/justice(s) are put up for recall election,

5) No court but the SCOTUS shud be able to declare that a (Republic voted) law is unconsitutional. And no such declaration by the SCOTUS shall be valid unless it is ratified by normal (Congress/Pres) process or by a plebiscite,
6) No filibuster allowed on judicial appointments, up vs down vote required in 30 days of appointment,

7) Congress may not delegate legislative power -- all agency regulations must be approved by normal legislative process,
8) No royal decree laws allowed; executive orders should only be permitted for matters like who makes the coffee & who gets the parking places in the executive branch.

However, so long as in this age the real problem is sinful human nature (Romans 1-3), we may not expect a non-corrupt govt. Daniel 4, especially vs 4:17 explains it all really.

You make several good points but failed to explain how to accomplish those points. Most people can come up with things that "SHOULD" be done to make life better, but few if any have any plan to implement them, including myself.

I agree about the swamp reference but I think that a larger scale is required,I'm all for accountability but the corruption goes far beyond the legal system.

Your statement about abortion alludes to the true source of corruption which is the HOME.

Abortions wouldn't be necessary if people took their responsibilities seriously,it's the parents inherent duty to teach their children the necessary lessons that encourage intellectual,emotional,and spiritual growth.

A child that isn't taught virtues like self control,self respect, and self awareness are really just pets because its those virtues along with others that differentiate us from the other animals.
