John Dingell: to fix Congress, abolish the Senate

The longest-serving member in the history of Congress has a big idea.

The Case for Abolishing the Senate

The upper chamber has outlived its usefulness. What would American democracy look like without it?

And with their newer threat of adding to it for a permanent majority which will effectively achieve the same result.

I actually like the suggestion in the vox article that Democrats attempt abolishing the Senate by calling a constitutional convention..... it would not go the way they want.

I wish they were stupid enough to try.

Convention of States Action

Article V offers the only constitutional solution as big as the problem. Together, we can end federal overreach.

That’s why they want to add to it instead. Not to mention how hard it is to get an article 5 going.

The day judges start acting like politicians, instead of the independent voices that they are supposed to be and follow the Constitution ,
is the day we start to lose the country and it has already begun!!!

Absolutely correct and well spoken.
That is why it PO's me to hear people refer to the SCOTUS Justices as Liberal or Conservative ... or ... as Democrat or Republican.
The actual description is whether a SCOTUS Justice is a Constitutionalist or an Activist.

Constitutionalist - a judicial philosophy that the courts are limited to basing decisions on the Constitution or subsequent established Legislative laws.

Activist - a judicial philosophy that the courts can and should go beyond the applicable law to consider broader societal implications of its decisions.

RBG was one of the worst offenders. She stopped caring about what the laws said and just voted on how she felt. Regardless of the details of a case.

And your assertion is further justified by her 'Death Bed Request'.

“My Most Fervent Wish Is That I Not Be Replaced Until a New President Is Installed”

She hated Trump and wanted her seat to be left unfilled until January 2025, if necessary.

Might have been more relevant if Mitch McConnell ran the Make-A-Wish Foundation and not the US Senate. Weird watching folks on CNN/MSNBC talk about it like it's supposed to tip the scales on the replacement process.

Can not blame her...she would of had an extra 4 years and 3 months to live...

Trump wins again...

It’s 110 pages of stuff Biden will never do

You're right, he won't. Pelosi, Harris, and AOC will.

 

[It will be fine]

Anyone else think it’s a bit suspicious that a Supreme Court Justice suddenly died right before every election Trump has been a part of?

Dems tried to slip that wish into a Senate resolution and it got slapped down. Of course media will just report that GOP blocked the RBG resolution without explaining why.

It is! Bet the Bad Orange Man had something do to with her 3rd, 4th and 5th rounds of cancer! All three occurred after his 2016 election to the Presidency!

she should have retired under Obama. she gambled and lost.

Maybe she knew Mitch would hold the seat open if she did.

thats not what she said in 2016

Flashback: In 2016, Ginsburg said Senate should hold SCOTUS confirmation hearing during election year

The death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg prompted key Washington figures to change their tune on whether a high-court vacancy should be filled so close to an election - and even the late jurist seems to have reversed herself on the issue.

The Democrats had 57 or 58 Senate seats and the Presidency when Ginsburg underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer on February 5, 2009 after her second cancer diagnosis in 10 years. Was colon cancer in 1999.

“The loss of Justice Ginsburg is not just the loss of a jurist of historic stature," as Chief Justice John Roberts has put it.
"In a way, we've seen the last of an era in the kinds of people who wind up on the Supreme Court,” he says. “And I think that's a loss for the court and I think it's a loss for the country.”
