Supreme Court should be abolished

      How long are we going to brainlessly believe that the fossilized

    institution known as the Supreme Court is vital to our " democracy "?

    With few exceptions it most often represents the most dried up, conservative

    influences of the social order. Even today they are capable of a modern

    version of the Dred Scott decision. During the Great Depression they

    were more concerned with the dessicated legalism of their bombastic,

    inflated role than with the calamity all around them. How right F.D.R.

    was to undermine these dinosaurs. I understand he had mental reservations

    when he took the oath of office. He could not uphold or defend the

    Constitution THEY represented! Sure enough they nearly succeeded in

    destroying his New Deal. The old fools ,no doubt, saw themselves as

    the Establishment's bulwark against " socialism " !

       They do not belong in the America of the 21st Century. Their sanctimonious

    drivel on major issues is as anachronistic in form and content as the

    proceedings of the Spanish Inquisition.

        Other world democracies are quite healthy- and stable- without the

    equivalent of our Supreme Court. Let the people who are democratically

    elected interpret the law of the land, not in any absolute way, but in

    accordance with the changing needs of the times.

         Put those black robes of un-democratic AUTHORITY into the American

    Smithsonian!

           The latest blunder of the Supreme Court - subjecting an incumbent

    President to distracting- and petty- legal harassment - should be their

    very last blunder.

        The Court must be abolished!
