Good luck with your revolution.

The New Deal court showed that the court can be responsive to public opinion. There is no reason to believe such extreme things you just said would happen.

And if they did, Congress has impeachment power. You forgot about that.

If SCOTUS became as tyrannical as you imagine, then extreme measures would be called for. I don’t see that now and I don’t see that happening.

“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”

Whether these “evils are sufferable” is a personal decision.

This has already been happening.

California voters a few years ago amended the state constitution to ban Gay marriage.

The state supreme court declared the duly passed state constitutional amendment unconstitutional.

So when judges can declare amendments to the constitution unconstitutional (as they are already doing) there is no recourse under the law left to us.

Wait until the SCOTUS rules that you should have to do something against your conscious.
Apparently you will not understand tyranny until it bites you on your own ass. Trump is falling down on this badly.
