I share your sentiment. The socialists seem to have the upper hand. However, everything is not quite that bleak. The other two branches still have lots of power. A president has defied a supreme court order in the past. Justices can be impeached.
Also, more justices could be appointed. The constitution makes no mention of how many memebers it should have. Nine is traditional, not legal.

You are correct on numbers on the Supremes. HOWEVER, at this time, any action in that area would be for the socialists to ADD more for their benefit. The stupid republicans will not get back in power for years. I seriously doubt that we will have another republican president in my life time. I am 60. I just think that with the adding of all the illegals voting in the future and all the give away programs, people are going for the free stuff and to hell with the country.
