Amendment#2
The Court, in its deliberations about an issue, can find a "spirit of the law" exception or interpretation to the printed wording of the law so long as 4 of the 5 Judges agree. This will be Article VI Clause 7.

 . There is no reason to take power away from the Court.

Is this an attempt to formalize what the spremes do on a regular basis, or an attempt to limit same by requiring a super majority?
It appears to be both. I am torn.

This is attempt to block people from appoiting juges based on this issue.

Right now, it is established by previous decisions that the court can rule on the spirit of the law whenever it wants. Thus this clearly limits it and does not formalize any power that needs formalizing

I agree with this. Could you post a link to that decision, please?
(I know, I'm too lazy to find it by myself...  )

I had to say Nay because 4 out of 5 is too restruictive. Leave that part out and it would have my vote.

Aro: There was no decision that explicitly said it. However, several decisions used the principle of judging the spirit of the constitution ( Case 5, Case 7, and Case 9 specifically come to mind)

This bill seems unnecessary.

MJW, I think this amendment failed. I'll detop the thread, ok?
