The courts have been at this sort of thing for longer than my 60 years of life. All that changed this week is more people see the charade.

That is too deep a concept for Stage I (per Thomas Sowell) thinkers to understand. They likewise cannot comprehend the solution to an out of control Scotus.

“American democracy?” What’s that?

I seriously wish I could move there.
That's it in a nutshell, we've officially become an oligarchy.
Hear ye, hear ye, we the assemble free persons, do recognize that Justice Scalia a highly courageous and just man. May he be endowed with great strength and protection by his creator, YHVH. Amen.
I remember deploying there a number of times in the late 80’s. The briefing we received always discouraged men from wearing shorts. Said the locals looked on it with disfavor.
Time to push the reset button and start over. We really haven’t had a constitution that has been followed as law since at least FDR. And this just finishes completely.
Constitution convention. Call the states together, let’s get started.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Well - on the brighter side: They did bring us GWB in Bush v.Gore.
A Convention of the states might be a hail mary pass, but it’s the last round in the chamber. Might as well fire it.
Too bad he did not write this perfect logic about Obamacare and the written law.
He did. Have you read it? It was also scathing.
It won't be long before every left wing "victim" group will start to consider all the other left wing "victim" groups to be the "villains." They'll eventually start to devour each other. Every "victim" will want to be the top dog of "victim-hood."
"See-ers" say what we see in the movies becomes the future. Now we know why there's so many Zombie films being made. The Zombies are the left wing "victims" eating all the other left wing "victims" in a quest to be the most victimized group of the day.
There's going to be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
It would never get the votes required. The country is now majority leftist. Sorry, thats the way it is. As such, rightists are enemies of the state
So, maybe it’s time to make a break for it?
Response from the Republican controlled Congress? ....
Bueller? Bueller?
No matter what it was the People ratified, the Fourteenth Amendment protects those rights that the Judiciary, in its reasoned judgment, thinks the Fourteenth Amendment ought to protect. That is so because [t]he generations that wrote and ratified the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment did not presume to know the extent of freedom in all of its dissenting dimensions . . . . One would think that sentence would continue: . . . and therefore they provided for a means by which the People could amend the Constitution, or perhaps . . . and therefore they left the creation of additional liberties, such as the freedom to marry someone of the same sex, to the People, through the never-ending process of legislation. But no. What logically follows, in the majoritys judge-empowering estimation, is: and so they entrusted to future generations a charter protecting the right of all persons to enjoy liberty as we learn its meaning. The we, needless to say, is the nine of us.
