One can only hope that while the court annoys the majority more and more with their meddling, Congress will eventually be empowered to make right some of these wrongs.
Thanks for this. I've been looking forward to your take on the recent USSC decisions, and you've not disappointed. May I suggest that not just this particular iteration of the USSC, it has been the case it appears to this (hopefully objective) observer that the fundamental due process requirement under the Rule of Law for an impartial, unbiased tribunal simply does not apply. Although I suppose, again, since that dates back to at least the late 1700s (Beccaria), it is not historically relevant for that Court's purpose. I no longer have any idea what's actually "enshrined" in the US Constitution, but I am thankful that due process/natural justice is enshrined in the Canadian Charter. Of course, since Appeals to the Privy Council from a decision of the SCC are no longer available, should the SCC go down that road, it might prove very difficult to overrule it. It could simply declare any legislative attempt to do so as ultra vires.
The caption on the picture of the storming of the winter palace made me literally LOL
A great lesson in how to not learn from history!

Brilliant. As expected.
