"You seem . . . to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy . . . They have, with others, the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their corps . . . and their power the more dangerous as they are in office for life, and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots. It has more wisely made all the departments co-equal and co-sovereign within themselves."

Like it or not, the Supreme Court is reality.

My first experience with the Supreme Court was in the early 60’s. As we drove into California we were greeted by a huge billboard that said “Impeach Earl Warren”.

Of course they are contaminated by politics, look at the way Ginsburg rants about Trump, etc.

All our complaints are not going to change anything..... Marbury vs. Madison....
