Also, the Ninth Circuit jurisdiction needs to be broken up and redefined or the creation of yet another Circuit Court of Appeals established to more align with the population. If the Supreme Court has to decide every small detail of our lives and involve itself in States matters as much as it has been lately then perhaps abolishing the lower courts altogether is a step forward.

It would also be good for the country to clean house and abolish unnecessary, duplicat, and unenforceable laws on the books and streamline the USC to bring it inline with not only the 21 century but to simplify its Constitutional bearing. There have become too many knee jerk restrictive laws decided by “opinion” and “feel good politics” and not “facts” that are unconstitutional on face value.

We are either a Constitutional Republic or we are not. Popular opinion about the definition of “democracy” and democratic principles have nothing whatsoever to do with the Democratic or Republican parties and if your civics class failed to teach that then you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
