You're right. But it's not just the robed masters. Congress should be able to do something about misconduct in the Judicial branch, but they have chosen not to. The idea that they would even consider passing Campaign Finance Reform is obscene.
This is truly not the country we grew up in.
The problem is GOVERNMENT. All of it. Congress will not effectively do anything to stop the Courts. heck, the democrats will not even allow Judges that have read the Constitution.
There is not solution except replacing all the rotten Judges with real ones and that takes (1) time and (2) political will. We are running out of time and our politicians are cowards.
All it would take is for a few hundred determined, armed folk to show up and stop the bulldozers. Failing that, there is no answer so we might as well give up.
I have reached the point that I fear any case going to the Supremes as they simply pay no attention to the Constitution. Justice is simply who bought the Judge best.
