The Supreme Court should be disbanded. It is a useless institution that has impeded American progress for the better part of its existance. Those ignorant of history like to point out decisions such as Brown v. Board of Education, but actually Congress had been voting to end the Jim Crow laws since at least the 1920s. The Supreme Court for decades stifled changing Jim Crow by upholding bogus claims of "States' rights." Throughout its existence the SCOTUS stifled labor, women and minorities, while promoting the rights of corporations and the wealthy. It is a backward institution that continues to stifle progress that the people, through Congress, seek. America needs to be free of its grip.
