The Frogs and Russkies are not sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, the so called Justices of the Supreme Court are. The Frogs and the Russkies are not charged with protecting our rights, the Supreme Court is.
The refusal to rule, while the other two branches just keep adding more "laws" infringing the right of the people may be less likely to start a civil war than the wrong ruling. But that may actually be a Bad Thing. Because by the time the legislative and executive branch turn up the frog pot several more times, the Court might rule correctly and it wouldn't make a dimes worth of differance, because the people would already be disarmed. They would be unable to back up the court when it makes a correct ruling, on this or any other "right of the people" issue. To misquote Joe Stalin "How many guns does the court have?"
Someone indicated earlier that it takes only 4 justices to grant cert. If that is correct and we couldn't get 4 now, we are unlikely to get 5 later, because even if a lib or two are replaced, there will be one of the 3 (or less) "on our side" who will also be replaced. Most of the current Justices are Republican appointees as it is, demonstrating that who appoints the justices doesn't make as much difference as one might hope.
It appears as if, at the national level at least, the soap box has failed, the ballot box has failed, the jury box (representing the judicial system) has failed, doesn't leave much does it? It leaves Cletus is what it leaves.
I would just as soon he kept his nose in that book, which he would if the Supremes would just do their job. At least if they did it correctly.
