This is what gets me: SCOTUS strikes down state laws, and large numbers of people here go ballistic, to the point of attacking the notion of judicial review itself, damning Marshall for Marbury vs Madison, etc. But then when the court fails to strike down a law, it seems as though these same elements are railing against "judicial tyranny". But the fact is, the courts didn't "tyrannize" us. It's true that they didn't stop tyranny, but that charge is absolutely no more applicable to them than to the people who elected the tyrants at the state and local level. Where's all the outrage against them?

I don't understand why people want to waste anger and energy on the courts, rather than on the politicians where you'll get 20 times more bang for your buck. Can you explain why it's being done this way?

"Can you explain why it's being done this way?"

======================

How difficult is it to impeach a senator or a congressman? An appellate judge or even a district judge.

You know it is almost impossible.

In this nation once for and by the people the Oligarchy now owns The People.

History repeats itself. I fear for our nation's security when private property rights come under such direct frontal attack. This will be a long hot summer.

Thank you for your thoughts.
