The Judiciary Act of 1789 was Congress’ first try at setting up the court system. It was modified multiple times in succesdive years, showing that even a Congress of our Founders weren’t happy with the imediate results.

Then Marbury vs. Madison occurred, preceded by court packing by previous president John Adams. Marshall admitted he was using an unconstitutional Judiciary Act in making his decision.

My point is that even our Founders had trouble setting up our legal system, experiencing problems from the beginning.

I think they woukd be working on these same problems today. I’m only encouraging you to keep digging and ignore the overly emotional reactions. Those responses are not well thought out.
