as for what to do? stand by the president when he nominates a replacement(s) to the u.s. supreme court. i think he'll put up conservatives. and this is why the democrats are so hot at the moment.

Ugh. I don't even wanna think about it. But read the Preamble to the Constitution. I think its authors meant for it to be re-read and acted upon when/if the Constitution itself were to be so twisted as it is today.
Amazingly Applicable Trivia: It only took 92 years for the Gubmint to legalize the completely legal State seizure of any property. The Federal Government, in 1913, applied the 16th Amendment (which some, to this day, will swear was never properly ratified; but no matter...) to begin seizing property in the form of income. In 2005, the Legal work completed with the SCOTUS' nullification of Takings Clause stated in the 5th Amendment now enables government to seize real property with the flimsiest of excuses.
All they now need is a municipal official to round up the needed political support, and your property no longer belongs to you, for any purpose as long as it can be called "improvement". You don't have to violate any laws to be a target ... it's that simple. Just breathe. Work hard all your life. Save and acquire property. Or, God forbid, hold an inflammatory political opinion. Where's the offense here?
