A Constitutional Amendment fixing the number of judges at nine would halt this sort of shit but as was obvious way back under FDR, the democrats are dead set on having political control of the Supreme Court.

Anyone who doubts it can just look at all the unAmerican rulings the USSC has made in spite of a vast majority of Americans being dead set against of what the Court ruled.

That's not judges bravely standing for the law, it's judges legislating from the bench what democrats can't get past the wishes of the people.

We both understand, of course, that the problem is not the number of justices rather it is that these justices have become tyrants in black robes and hence arises the deplorable but inescapable existential need is to make sure most of those berobed law policymakers are on our side.

The problem then is it the court has trespassed beyond its jurisdictional mandate and has entered the realm of politics and social policy without the mandate of the will of the people. It has essentially become an authoritarian arm of government.

Whose fault is that? Well, of course, the law schools have ceased to become a place where eager young minds go to emulate Oliver Wendell Holmes and have become a place to emulate Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Well, the law schools didn't spring fully formed from the earth, they are a function of the University system which has produced generations of elitists who assume the prerogative of ruling over us and, by extension, expect the Supreme Court not only to bless them in that venture but to actually collaborate and sanction.

By extension all our institutions, our religious institutions and especially the media have put us in a void, leaving the Supreme Court to fulfill nature's mandate.

Finally, Congress has abdicated its responsibilities as our article one institution and routinely passes the buck to regulators and judges by abdicating their responsibilities to legislate. When they do legislate, they legislate beyond their constitutionally mandated powers all the while in the reasonable expectation that the Supreme Court will sanction their constitutional usurpations.
