In our system of democracy, our government works on a system of checks and balances. Instead of stripping power from the courts, I believe we should follow the process prescribed in our Constitution - consideration of a Constitutional amendment. ↗

The insane pursuit of the holy grail of a balanced budget in the end is going to drive the economy into a depression. ↗
