Why do you see the power given to the USSC to protect our fundamental rights as the 'problem', -- rather than it's abuse by politicians?

It's abused by both judges and politicians. And I certainly favor throwing out the skanky political class, at all levels of government - as well as impeaching judges who abuse their authority.

What I don't agree with is the view that the federal government (at least pre-14th amendment) was given the power to keep states in line in that regard.

You agree we have fundamental rights that cannot be violated by any level of government, -- yet you don't agree with the view that the USSC & Executive branches were given the power to keep the skanky political class in line?
