The Constitution famously set up checks between the branches.

Thanks to the 17th Amendment, Congress doesn’t have the will to use their available checks against a runaway judiciary.

The practical fact is, Scotus is despotic. There is no Constitutional limit to its diktats.

Start with repeal of the 17A. Article V.

I ask this question over and over. Since the courts can only control the outcome if the states that are enacted are not specific the solution is always the same. The Constitution provides for governance that represents citizens. Apparently we have the kind of governance we have because this is what people want. Who’s mainly responsible for molding public opinion? The courts are just a symptom of the real problem and that problem has been ignored for two generations.
