Hot take: SCOTUS shouldn’t be relied on the do the job of Congress

In case you haven’t noticed, Congress has steadily shifted more of its responsibilities over to the Judiciary so they don’t have to make hard decisions and threaten re-election efforts.
I would add that Congress would give budget making abilities over to the courts if it could, but Congress hasn’t passed a budget in 30 years.

That’s a freezing cold take.
The same people who run the Supreme Court run Congress.

The result of the birthright citizenship opinion and mail-in ballot opinion are terrible for the country but probably correct interpretations of law.
The law is the problem and Congress has completely failed in addessing these issues.

The thirst for legislating from the bench is on full display today.

Did Congress do that?
Or did Trump and Miller's EO strategy do that?

If we're being consistent... we've all said we don't want judges to legislate from the bench
Here are the SCOTUS Justices saying we're not going to legislate from the bench... Congress do your job

While this is true, I want the bench to revert legislation from the bench. Just like Roe v. Wade being overturned. Unscrew the things they screwed.

congress is too polarized to get 60 votes in senate to break a filibuster on anything meaningful
neither side wants the filibuster removed because both sides will get to use it.
and we will never see another amendment...... no way you get enough
in the house/senate and state legislatures to pass one these days

We can only dream

Nah it’s the thirst for common sense which you don’t have.

I read it the opposite way. More like SCOTUS telling Congress "you have to do your fricking job, not pawn it off on others."

Congress has ceded its authority to the Executive and Judiciary.
Executive issues EOs to do what Congress refuses to address, Judiciary overturns it, Congress still does nothing.
Somethings gotta give and it likely will be the Executive ignoring the judiciary or else there will be completely paralysis of the government.

I'd say they shifted most of their duties over to the president. Not just on border but war and several other issues. Biden took the approach of just signing whatever EOs came across his desk knowing it would take months to work its way through the courts and the damage would already be done if it was overturned. Trump can't do this because everything gets blocked immediately by a lower court. The point still stands though that Congress is lazy and needs to do their job.

Agreed... and the current Justices have shown that they will overturn bad precedent from previous SCOTUS cases
They just need to get cases challenging those bad precedents up there

Reforming immigration law should have started on day 1 to fill in the loopholes that the Biden Admin left.
Birthright Citizenship can be fixed in ways other than amending the the Constitution.

Sadly I think both parties want them here.
Your local GOP voting developer or farmer? He wants cheap labor.

And in my opinion, you’re right. Congress needs to get off their arse make some laws to protect the borders of this country.
But we all know they won’t
