      If memory serves, the French invented a huge apparatus for that, inspired by a bread slicer.

      Annual reminder that the SCOTUS decided that the SCOTUS has the power of Constitutional review.

      I’d suggest elevating more federal court justices for a period, durich which time they decide as a group what to take up and then randomly assign 5 or 7 to a case. After their stint they can either return to federal court or retire.

      they should just require a randomly selected jury for any ruling and the justices only job should be deciding what to present to jurors

        I’m not sure I’d like to trust a random jury to determine the interpretation of laws

          I can guarantee a randomly selected jury would do a better job than the current court.

            If we’re comparing with the current SC everything is an improvement. But if we’re going to change things, I would prefer a system that does not rely on easily manipulated, uneducated masses.

              I haven’t heard of a lot of jury tampering trials go well. And usually isnt it more of a mafia style “nice family you got there, would be a shame if something happened to it” situation?
