In both situations, our BOR proved ineffective; they failed as firewall protection of our individual rights. IMO, one of the principle reasons they failed is that it is prohibitively expensive to bring a case to the SCOTUS. Second only to education, the legal system has been the most crucial in bringing about our downfall.

Yep, after education are the courts.
Let me ask you this. If States had agency in the Senate these past one hundred years, I cannot imagine they would allow known, progressive, anti-10th amendment justices to federal court benches. Do you agree?

Standing is a major tool of repression when general rights are being taken. Everyone is harmed, but standing looks for a narrow plaintiff who has been “wronged”.
