There are two solid economic conservatives on this supreme court. I don't know how the hell that ever happened, but if this passes I may be brought back into the action of fantasy politics again. I was debating whether to run for a second Senate term; if the supreme court agrees with Bono then the Senate and I will be forced to take action. I'll move to increase the size of the supreme court. I'll join with other economic progressives to fillibuster every bill until it is passed. I'll bring this movement down. I'll bring the government to a standstill if I have to.
Whatever happened to judicial independence? Shouldn't the Justices rule on the merits of the case, instead of succumbing to political pressure from either side?
