None of this is okay with me.
For one there really is no such thing as a "bipartisan commission," at the end of the day they still have their leans and still have intention behind whatever set of recommendations they come up with.
And the other reason is we are asking the Executive Branch to initiate something that will land in the lap of the Legislative Branch to deal with, when arguably it is the fault of both of those branches of government as to why the Judicial Branch is such a mess now.
Constitutionally speaking just about every decision by the Supreme Court should be 7-2 or 8-1, just so that the dissent can tell us the implications of the majority opinion. But these 5-4 or soon to be 6-3 decisions down political ideological lines are suggesting nothing more than political ideology over Constitutional intentions.
We see politicians continue to mess with this and it begs the question on why, cause it sure is not about consideration for Constitutionality.
