Well put. It certainly does not seem as though there's the 3-way balance the founders intended. We are way, way too heavy on the judiciary today.

Good article overall! I do wonder what would happen if instead of SCOTUS being appointed, we the people elected 13 term-limited justices from the pool of 179 circuit judges, one for each circuit, and allowed 55% of Congress to veto any ruling. The originalists can still have their law experts on the bench, but we get our votes much more involved in the process as we do in some towns. But I like the idea of stripping out judicial review more.
