Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

To expand: The UK's reactionary House of Lords once had a powerful veto that it would use to block liberal legislation from the House of Commons—including a gov't budget in 1909. So the Liberals threatened to pack it—with *500* more members. The Lords backed down & let their veto to be weakened.
