      How is this far right? The right loves the current court, it’s their personal sledgehammer they can pull out to erode our freedoms whenever they wish.

      Just because something had been done for a long time, doesn’t mean it’s a good thing.

      For a long time, the west had kings as governments. We fought a war to get rid of that. The French started cutting off heads to end that.

      For a long time, the church was a key government entity, our constitution explicitly states that the government is entirely separate to the church.

      For a long time, common people had no rights to trial by peers or privacy in their own homes from the government. Again, we have an amendment that enshrines that.

      The Supreme Court has been abusing their power too much and for too long. It needs to change, and one those changes should be to judicial review. No more legislation from the bench.
