Just because some people posting on internet blogs don’t agree with a judicial ruling doesn’t mean that the ruling is wrong.

Sure. It can certainly be wrong on it's own merits, which are easily pointed out by means other than internet blogs.

Judicial rulings have to stand the test of time

Which they don't. Just ask the Wong court how their Plessey ruling turned out.

not unlike the application of the scientific method

The court's methodology is the very opposite of the scientific method. In legal procedure, "Precedent", (That's the way we've always done things! fallacy) is the norm, and results can be failures without stimulating any need to change procedures.

In scientific methodology, a procedure known to produce bad results is discarded. In jurisprudence, it is compelled for the sake of consistency with previous mistakes.

The legislative branch can also render a bad court ruling moot by passing countering legislation.

Very badly written and ambiguous amendments are difficult to repeal when you have chopped off all the states which would have opposed it when you first created it.

The 14th amendment is a kludge, and has caused much mischief due to it's very badly written text, and the very immoral manner in which it was passed.

The voters can get rid of an ineligible elected offical in the next election.

When the ineligible occupant engages in ballot box stuffing, then the election system is no longer a viable method for removal. I believe his media allies make it virtually impossible to remove him through the democratic process. They deliberately warp the public's minds by not covering the man in the hostile manner they would a Republican.

Democracy cannot work if it is impossible to get accurate information past the palace guards. The media is responsible for undermining the democratic process in this country, and nothing is going to get fixed until their propaganda system is neutered.

The Wong Court could also be asked if the Wong ruling itself has withstood the test of time at 117 years without reversal and counting.

If ballot boxes were stuffed, it would have been nice if any of the oppposing political parties or candidates had filed election fraud complaints.

There was never a time in the history of the republic when the media wasn’t biased. At the Founding, it was the federalist media versus the republican media. In the 19th century the many of the major newspapers were wholly owned subsidiaries of the political parties. Today we have corporate media which reflect the views of their owners and major shareholders.
