You can influence the Supreme Court of the United States, and it is easier to do than you might think. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has become the linchpin for preserving the Constitution of the United States of America.

Over the last 70 years, SCOTUS has been used to radically change the United States’ legal structure. Progressive justices, both Democratic and Republican, have used the power of the court to accomplish things that could never have been passed through Congress. This was one of the methods Progressives considered as ways to “get around” the limits on government power that the Constitution put into place.

As the people of the United States realized the profound changes the Supreme Court justices were making, they elected Republican presidents. Some Republican presidents started selecting Justices who would apply the Constitution as written instead of the way Progressive leaders desired. In 2016, the people elected President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump appointed three Supreme Court justices who held to the philosophy of Originalism and Textualism, creating the first majority originalist and textualist court in 70 years. Several previous, obviously unconstitutional decisions were reversed.

The pernicious Chevron Doctrine was struck down, removing the assumption that the administrative bureaucrats always know best, returning a semblance of independent judiciary review to administrative decisions.

The Bruen decision was written by Justice Clarence Thomas, confirming the Second Amendment protects the right of the people to bear arms.

Roe v. Wade was reversed, returning the power of regulating abortion to the States.

Those who favor a government of unlimited power were unhappy to see the Supreme Court daring to follow the Constitution. They threatened the Justices from the front steps of the highest court and refused to protect justices and encouraged acts of violence.

The Biden/Harris administration is openly threatening the Supreme Court with term limits, age limits, "ethics rules" and packing the court.

Yes, electing Trump and a Republican majority in the House and Senate would help the Chief Justice to be more confident he can make Constitutional decisions without fear of political retribution.

the key to our one party rule is to pack the court. If the Dems win majorities, that will probably be one of the first things done.
If Trump wins and somehow the do nothing republican hold one side, the SCOTUS will attempt to “balance” things with it’s rulings.

"Over the last 70 years, SCOTUS has been used to radically change the United States’ legal structure...."

Over the last 120 years, SCOTUS has been used to radically change the United States’ legal structure.

Muller v. Oregon(1908) is typically known to be the first progressive landmark case, which was in the first half of the Progressive Era (1900-1920).

If Trump gets in you will see 3 scotus members replaced by conservatives. He will have a majority in the senate.
