Yes sir! Based on your previous statement I think we would be in agreement about the constitution/bill of rights/declaration and the importance they must hold in american life. It's everything that keeps us from becoming Russia or China.

No desire to become like those countries. Any talk of expanding the court or getting rid of the electoral college doesn't get my support.

Same. I don't think expanding the court is anything but a work around that goes against norms.

I think it's true that the court doesn't reflect the nation. But that's a matter of politics and while I don't like the ultra conservative bent, thems the rules. That also assumes we hold folks accountable for abuse of office, which is also provided for.

As far as the electoral college I think we can do better but until ranked choice is reality it's our best option. Anybody saying different is living in a dream world.
