-- How do you stop judicial activism, especially when it goes right to and including the Supreme Court? --

In principle, it can never be stopped. Outcome oriented jurisprudence runs from common to uncommon, depending on many factors. I do agree that at this point, the institution deserves no respect. It has no moral authority, and is basically a gang of thugs who are skilled at composing nonsense using dense legal jargon.

The usual corrective mechanism of impeachment is inoperative due to Congressional aversion to accountability. The corrective mechanism in place has a time constant (engineering term for speed of process control loop) of 40 years or so, and consists of retirement and death on one side, and nominations and appointments on the other side.

Excellent comment, but I am concerned that the patient (our country) will die before the illness takes its course of healing.

If we win an election and install a conservative president, we nevertheless find the deep administrative branch continues unchecked. If we somehow check the bureaucrats, we find that we have lost the battle in Congress, even though we have elected a Republican House and Republican Senate. If we win the White House, the Congress, and even manage to rein in deep state bureaucrats, we lose the battle in the courts.

There is one venue we have not yet tried, one in which none of these players have influence:

Article V.
