[Non-Sequitur]

All branches have a duty to protect and defend the Constitution. Allowing one to assume that duty alone leads to the tyranny we have now. I find it scary that you would have no problem with the USSC defining the protection for our rights away....

What I'm saying is that I trust the Supreme Court to do so more than I do you.

“What I’m saying is that I trust the Supreme Court to do so more than I do you.”

Do you actually want one unelected branch of government to rule us? We are supposed to be a representative republic, not a judicial tyranny. A single federal judge can overturn the voiced will of the people - as was done for Prop 187 in CA - because it didn’t agree with that judge’s politics.

The USSC and the rest of the federal courts are supposed to be strictly limited in power for this very reason. You’re okay with this growth in their power. Conservatives are not.
