I am no longer willing to fight the left with both hands tied behind my back by the law which they dont follow.

How can you fight someone under the law when you opponent disregards the law?

Here is a game.

You pretend to be a conservative president with a conservative super majority in the congress willing to go along with whatever you demand.

And I will pretend to be 5 liberal supreme court judges who have no interest in following the law, the constitution, or any anything besides their liberal ideology.

You try to get some thing done and I will stop you, no matter what you do.

Pass a constitutional amendment you say? I will just rule the process you did to pass it unconstitutional.

Issue an executive order? I will simply rule your order unconstitutional.

Force the issue further? I order you and whoever I want in congress to be jailed indefinitely on contempt.

Try to remove me from office? I just rule whatever process you employed flawed and unconstitutional.

You see, when the left has 5 judges and all the power (because the president and the congress LETS them have that power by deferring to them) There is NOTHING you can do to stop them.

The ONLY way to stop an out of control supreme court is to use aggressive unconstitutional means to remove them (remember THE COURT gets to decide what is constitutional so by definition a rouge court can only be removed by unconstitutional means)

Good luck with your revolution.

The New Deal court showed that the court can be responsive to public opinion. There is no reason to believe such extreme things you just said would happen.

And if they did, Congress has impeachment power. You forgot about that.

If SCOTUS became as tyrannical as you imagine, then extreme measures would be called for. I don’t see that now and I don’t see that happening.

“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”

Whether these “evils are sufferable” is a personal decision.
