One of the reasons the Judicial branch doesn't appear to be a "dysfunctional" as you believe the others to be is that they are pretty much sequestered from the daily political give-and-take wrangling that goes into making law. If they were to simply pronounce the law they would be dictators and the will of the people would be ignored.
I also disagree that it is a particularly conservative court at this point. With so many 5-4 decisions on crucial rulings I think it is a split court becoming more liberal all the time. One more liberal voice on that court and it would become a liberal voice of dictatorship.
You are calling for tyranny. In no way can I or true conservatives support it.
We already have tyranny. Did you vote for you and your family to get strip searched every time you travel? 9 kings with 9 votes should insure sufficient give and take, checks and balances. Being sworn to moderate wealth, what would motivate the majority of kings to collectively loot the taxpayers?
At the nation's founding Alexander Hamilton knew the fatal flaw of democracy are argued for a "President for life" design. A quote from James Madison: "In framing a system which we wish to last for ages, we shd. not lose sight of the changes which ages will produce. An increase of population will of necessity increase the proportion of those who will labour under all the hardships of life, & secretly sigh for a more equal distribution of its blessings. These may in time outnumber those who are placed above the feelings of indigence. According to the equal laws of suffrage, the power will slide into the hands of the former."
We have reached that point.
