Not really,, ever hear of the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union? A Socialist takeover here would almost certainly leave familiar things like the Supreme court intact as window dressing.

Or not. The Supreme Court of the Soviet Union was created by the Soviet Union - there was no corresponding institution under the Tsars. The U.S. Supreme Court has a 220 year history of judicial independence which would not sit well under a totalitarian form of government.

They do? Would you mind dropping them an email on this? I think they may have forgotten.
