SENATE STANDING COMMITTEE: Judiciary (Check and Balances Amendment)

[TNF]

I'm willing to take any and all questions the committee has regarding my proposed amendment.

[TNF]

I proposed it because I think that a further check upon the power of the judiciary is needed. Which is why I titled it the 'Checks and Balances' Amendment. We have the ability to override the President's veto, why not the ability to override a decision of the Supreme Court? The people should be the ultimate arbiters of the law, of course, and as their representatives, we should do our duty to overrule the Court when we find it has acted in error.

We do have a check- constitutional amendments. Lost in this populist riff raff is the fact that all you are dojng is removing the public from the equation here. Given history that would be very irresponsible.

How is giving the Senate a veto over the actions of the Supreme Court 'removing the public from the equation'?

[TNF]

Senator TNF, is there any particular decision you believe should be overturned by the senate?

Not in particular.
