'The first is a supermajority rule, where the Supreme Court would need seven votes, not just five, to overturn federal legislation. '
'A whole lot of judicial activity is not judicial review, including, for example, review of executive actions for conformity with statutes when making regulations. '
'So you need a Supreme Court with the ability to overturn legislation that threatens the democratic nature of our legislatures themselves. '
