SCOTUS serves the ends of the politicians who get them appointed.I think demented hits the spot better.
Idiot wingnuts think an amendment that says "the feds power is limited to the feds power" is a limit on fed power.

In wingnut world, the Constitution, which is where all govt power comes from, was ALL about limiting fed power.In United States v. Sprague (1931) the Supreme Court noted that the amendment "added nothing to the [Constitution] as originally ratified."
According to Jefferson, SCOTUS can go fuck itself; what some old prick says he thinks an older prick means means jack shit. Only one thing matters: the will of the nation.
Bullseye. That's it in a nut shell. All the rest is, it the infrastructure that supports it. In Infrastructure is limited to the will of the people. It will never be more important than the people it was designed to serve, not united, not as a whole. When we let the system manipulate our will, we all lose.
