Seeing how SCOTUS can be corrupted, what is your opinion on departmentalism?

Departmentalism was an idea championed by figures like Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln stating that all three branches of the government have equal authority in interpreting the constitution. This means the SCOTUS would no longer have judicial supremacy and each branch can interpret the constitution however they see fit within their sphere of influence. Do you consider this to be a better or worse model to what we currently have?

Do you agree with Murray Rothbard on his essay "Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature"?

You can read the full essay here but basically, to summarize, he critiques the Left's push for equality and the conservatives' stance that equality is simply an impractical ideal, viewing it instead as immoral. He views the drive for social and economic equality as a denial of biology, and that civilization depends entirely on individual diversity and the division of labour. Therefore, as people are inherently unequal, to push for equality requires authoritarianism.

TIL Andrew Jackson is the only U.S. President to have sworn a formal oath of loyalty to a foreign sovereign. Despite pledging to defend the King of Spain, years later he led the military invasion of Spanish Florida which led to its annexation.

I'm INTP and I find that I really connect with ENTJs but despite spending almost a year in university, I have only been able to meet a single ENTJ (or rather, he met me lol). Since societies are a great place to meet new people, what societies would you say I'd be most likely to find you guys in?
