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.

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.

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

I'd tell you, but I'd be banned in a heartbeat.
