Maybe its fundamentally not healthy for a government to have a judicial branch that relies on a fucking handful of judges who are appointed for a literal LIFETIME and with 0 input from the people. JUST A THOUGHT

People in the comments saying that the supreme court has been good until Mitch McConnel ruined it are living in a fantasy. It is ridiculous to act as if the supreme court has been insulated from politics and only looks objectively at the law. The supreme court has used race science several times in Dred Scott v. Sanford and Plessy Vs Ferguson to uphold white supremacy, all the way in the 1800′s. You can look through lists of Supreme Court decisions that only exist to protect and maintain the US empire.
