Why Any Congress ?

Mr. Beck Solicitor General of the United States suggests
that the Supreme Court should give advice to Congress His
idea would be to have Congress go the Supreme Court
and get legal advice before passing legislation
Wouldn't be simpler to do away with Congress entirely
allowing the Supreme Court make laws in addition in
terpretng them? For many Of most important citizens
that would be a satisfactory arrangement
Members of the Supreme Court appointed by the Pres
dent of the United States The President of the United
States often selected and put into office by best
minds = which richest minds.
You don't get any like Walsh of Montana Senator
Norris any other the Supreme Bench
you do occasionally get such genuinely democratic
Justices Brande Holmes and others you don't get enough
Of them to make any real difference They're minority,
at most ~
Mr. Becks suggestion is interesting and along the line
economy It might include aboshng the President and Vice
Presidency in addition to abolshing the House and the
Senate

England didn't last long But it might work better
