    I mean, at the end of the day, the SC only has power if we allow it to. The two other branches could decide to ignore them and pick a new supreme court. Aka the supreme Court has no army

      One party that agrees with the majority of the court about almost everything.

      The other respects rules and norms (and the delicate sensibilities of their owner donors) much more than the will and even LIVES of the people they’re supposed to represent.

      While technically accurate, you’re making the mootest of points.
