[John Twenty 28]

>>Are you saying that you want the U.S. to be a dictatorship ruled over by the Supreme Court? What the court rules, goes?

>Well, yes, I guess.

>What is your solution?

I'm rather partial to the idea of a constitutional republic. Guess I'm old fashioned.

That's a cute response, but it avoids the question. In fact, it changes the subject.

You are indeed.

When Judge Bork raised the spectre of Judicial tyranny in his "The Tempting of America", the legalistic community poo-ppoed his "dangerously" "majoritarian" views, as if only Judges could be the guarantors of true liberty.

We now see what a pi**-poor job Judges really do. For 100 years, they failed to protect the rights of blacks that was written on the books, and once they fixed that they turned around and invented culturally demeaning interpretations to deny a host of others their legitimate rights, from the unborn to, today, a Supreme Court Justice.

Bork was right after all.
It may be time for a re-read of that classic - it was quite prophetic.
