Their failure to uphold the Constitution means the Republic is already gone.

They are just too cowardly or too smart to admit it.

The sheeple will go back to sleep again, and they can go on with their evil work.

Cowardly is the best word to describe the current US SC justices. And to use the word "justice" when describing part of the function of the court is to demean the very idea of justice. No, the Constitution has become what we have always feared: a "living" document, just so much smelly, old, tattered paper, written in a time when America was "quaint", by old, dead white guys who couldn't possibly have understood what the future America would look like.

The Supreme Court of today must surely hand down decisions based, not on solid Constitutional principle, but on currently defined social mores, personal political whim, and just good old fashioned corruption and intellectual dishonesty.

The judiciary has become just another engine driving the once-free Republic to tyranny. Governments have always been enemies of freedom; their very definition involves not freedom, but coercion; not liberty, but slavery; not personal responsibility, but the ever-ready nanny-tit, dispensing the milk of the treasury to those who "play the game." The Republic is damn near dead - long live the Republic.
