Congressional influence on SCOTUS ideology
Following is an article I wrote about whether and to what degree Congress should attempt to influence the ideology of the Supreme Court. My footnotes, alas, are not included. If you would like to know the sources of my quotations, I would be happy to provide them.
The article is RATHER LONG, but nothing you can't read start to finish in five minutes or so. Do you agree or disagree with my position?
EDIT: Come on guys, it isn't that long. Where's the love?

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
