No, she thinks she's a legislator, with lifetime tenure, in a legislative body of nine super-senators.

Well, she is. That's the reality. We all talk about Presidential elections being important because of the Supreme Court because we all know they are the ones who really rule us and we all know that the only influence we ever get over that court in our supposed republic is that one instant with the President makes the nomination. Other than that, they have lifetime tenure and can make laws by fiat which cannot be overruled without a constitutional amendment, which is to say, virtually never. Yeah, they rule us.

They only rule us for as long as we allow them to. Just like the colonists allowed George III to tyrannize them for only so long. Mankind is not disposed to suffer when evils become insufferable.
