Yes. The word is OLIGARCHY. Rule by a small number of people.

So should we describe our government as a judicial oligarchy?

I really do think we have the ability at FR to introduce terms into the national conversation.

Correct. And if the number of people is small enough, then they are also called a "junta." In some countries, they are called a "politburo." This should provide a clue as to the type of system we are living under.
