Depends on degree. Option #1 is Constitutional amendment, option #2 is Second Amendment.

You turn to the people and hope they have the good common sense to vote the rats out.
In other words
We're screwed.

The World Court?

Where do you turn when the SCOTUS ignores the law? There's still a district court battle regarding the disenfranchisement of the military, so the war is not yet over.

It heans that elections will become just a sham. Those who control the courts control the country. We have let far too many liberal judges on the courts over the years and now we will reap the price. I don't have the answer, but we need to do something entirely different. To continue to support the election process in the US as it now operates is a fools game. It will only lead to our slow demise.

Exactly. I can understand why SCOTUS refused to get involved - maybe the GOP didn't frame their appeal correctly or something but that's a separate issue - but where will
appointed judges making rules instead of our elected representatives, who account to the people, stop?
I hope that state legislatures across the country as well as in NJ are pissed about this. And I hope the NJ voters make them pay in November. It's backlash time.

Where do you turn when the SCOTUS ignores the law?Happens quite often, actually, from the erosion of 4th Amendment rights to ignoring of 2nd A issues and the nearly complete oblivousness to the 10th Amendment. However, the trick for the GOP is to make a ruckus not just when their ox gets gored, but when someone else's does as well. Supreme Courts are now the domain of modern-day Mad Hatters, where words (and laws) mean what the jurists want them to mean.

As I said the other day...when the jury box and the ballot box become corrupted, the only recourse may be to the ammo box. I think this is a huge loss for our country. The rule of law means nothing to RATs, and none of this will really register with the majority of Americans.

In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it
fails to observe the law scrupulously. [Our government is the potent, the
omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its
example.] Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it
breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself;
it invites anarchy. -Justice Brandeis

Where do you turn when the SCOTUS ignores the law? I'd tell you, but I'd be banned in a heartbeat.
