Solidifying President Trump’s Judicial Legacy
- The importance of being ideologically earnest.

It seemed that, when nominated, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was noted for her gender and skin color more than her intellectual prowess. Yet the Constitution registers no consideration of these attributes as necessary to fairly and impartially adjudicate the nation’s laws. Deviating from longstanding precedent, Jackson has a strong ideological bent toward activism. Ironically, her intersectionality includes womanhood and a feminist inclination, but she famously could not define what a woman is.
Several aspects of the modern American judicial system have steadily veered away from its traditional role of simply enforcing laws passed by Congress or issued by the executive in favor of insinuating deeply held political views into a system designed to be apolitical. It is no wonder that public confidence in the courts has declined. Rarely have SCOTUS decisions been as politically predictable as on the current Court, where the left-leaning allegiances of Justices Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan routinely place them in a dissenting face-off against the other six justices.

Seems like “We, The Sheeple” need a “codification” of SCOTUS.
I’d suggest:
(even though no one has ever or will ever ask how “King Ferd” [me] how I’d have set it up. I’m sure the Dead Old White Guys would not believe how their SCOTUS has evolved.)
- There should be a minimum age of 30 and a maximum age of 70;
- The selection should be limited to sitting Federal Appeals Court and State Supreme Court judges;
- End lifetime appointments to SCOTUS and each judge should be appointed for 36 years;
- Terms should expire at the first anniversary of each Presidential election;
- So, that each President will get to appoint at least one judge to SCOTUS;
- Should a judge die in office, the sitting President should name a replacement for the balance of the deceased judge’s term;
- SCOTUS should establish “ethics rules” for itself identical to any impose on lower Federal Court judges.
I’d like to see that done and run for a few decades, then evaluate how it turns out.
Sort of like planting a shade tree that you’ll never sit under.
