Oh, they're listening, and watching too. Problem is, they don't have anywhere near the virtue and courage to invoke their legislative powers as described in the U.S. Constitution, specifically Article III, Section 2, which states:
"In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make".
As the Chinese curse goes, "May you live in interesting times". We most certainly do.
Thomas Jefferson saw the voracious tendencies of government when he stated "It is the natural order for government to grow and freedom to wane". In 1821, he also stated "When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the centre of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated".
We're there, folks.
