If you had to propose just one amendment to the Constitution, what would it be?
He wants to talk about gerrymandering. He loves talking about gerrymandering. But the average American can’t even spell gerrymandering, let alone understand the logistics of how it threatens voting rights, and he can’t exactly give a crash course within seconds. So he goes for the next best thing.
“I love the democracy within our country enough to admit that parts of it are broken. Namely, the power held by the Supreme Court.
"Consider this: Congress has been begging to pass campaign finance reform for over 40 years, but the Supreme Court won’t let them. I’m allowed to marry the love of my life only because the Supreme Court deems it acceptable, but for decades they didn’t. Cities can no longer regulate handguns because, after 200 years of passivity, the Supreme Court suddenly decided against it. They’ve wiped out huge chunks of affirmative action, elected a president in 2000, ruled that schools don’t need equal funding, and are about to start legally favoring corporations over EPA’s environmental protections.
"So how do we begin restoring this balance of power? An amendment which limits each seat of the Supreme Court to eighteen years, allowing appointments to expire biyearly. This would guarantee that each president appoints at least two justices, and doesn’t allow for just one political mindset to dominate for decades.”
