Quite right...courts in smaller, less populous states can be taken over actually more easily than in bigger states....witness the town in I think it was Oregon where a bunch of Moonies moved to, enmasse, and then had the votes to elect their own people to the town’s elected offices and so took over the town govt.
And yes, the regular manner in which one or two non-elected “judges” (”czars”?) trump the will of the people (shown via voting results) as well as ursurp legislative powers that do not belong to the judiciary show the USA is much more the fascist dictatorship than the kind of govt of the people it was founded to be.
We could call the future of the USA the “4th Reich” or some such...USSA?
Especially with the legislatures failing to defend their turf.
This entire mess illustrates why the concept of judicial review is a curse. Why do we tolerate a doctrine which impinges so cruelly upon the will of the masses; this will being the very foundation of a representative republic.
