Democrats and Republican both want to stack the SCOTUS with those that go their way.Democrats want to stack the SCOTUS so decisions always go their way, yet Trump is the one who is excessive? LOL
It has not always been that way. Both focused on moderates on their side. Now they focus on extremists on their side.
Hamilton and founding fathers described the judiciary as:
- the “least dangerous” branch of government
- a branch with “neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment”
- an institution meant to be independent from political pressure
- Judges should not worry about reelection.
- They should not try to please politicians or the public.
- They needed stability and independence to make unpopular but lawful decisions.
