14. Geez, this Rep thinks the SCOTUS is like Soviet Politburo
Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind., the bill's author, likened the Supreme Court to the Soviet Politburo. "As few as five people in black robes can look at a particular issue and determine for the rest of us, insinuate for the rest of us that they are speaking as the majority will. They are not," Hostettler said.
****
Uh, it's part of our DEMOCRACY, 3 prongs.
