The US has a fairly unique system of it in terms of how vast our court systems are. I have no idea why the hell you think we shouldn't have it, its a fairly basic check on power If you compare the US, which has judicial supremacy in that theoretically there is no one that can overrule the Supreme Court absent a constitutional amendment and the UK, which has parliamentary supremacy in that Parliament can pass a regular new law that overrules any judicial decision, in both cases the supreme institution exercises great care in not changing things too much. The system is stable because of that. If Parliament legislated like the Louisiana legislature apparently thinks it proper to do, the UK system would rapidly descend into chaos like the French Revolution. Same would happen if the Supreme Court started striking down laws or creating new ones because they felt like it. Ultimately, the stability comes from the top institution recognizing that their authority flows directly from their caution and reasonableness. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
