I have always found it a fitting metaphor for the entire US political system that the judiciary is controlled by nine people - who are appointed for life and essentially make decisions without any checks and balances.
Well, there’s a point to tenure. It’s to be able to weather demented rapists who make it into office. But yeah it’s been thoroughly bescrewed by the Heritage Foundation creeps and Moscow Mitch’s fuckery. Lately, anyway.
Could have voted Hilary and had a good court but no.
