If you believe the checks and balances ou Forefather's put into place are still valid you need only look at Supreme Court decisions since the Conservatives became the majority . The sad part is no term limits and they could have dementia and cannot be removed . They are not elected by us , despite public objection they are still appointed these lifetime positions . Look at Kavanagh's appointment process . Did it matter that there was so much controversy ? No . He was in the right political party at the time . So the checks and balances aren't stable . As a judge it should not be about party . What about the lies to get appointed ,no we won't mess with precident . Roe vs.Wade is messing with precident !!!
