The idea that an entire republic is dependent upon the unaddressable interpretations and integrity of 12 priests in robes, priests whom are not democratically elected or accountable to the people, is an absurdity.
Lifelong… If my boss told me I could never be fired no matter how shitty of a job I did, you better believe I would be the worst!
They can be fired - SC justices can be recalled via impeachment by Congress, who ultimately derives their power from the people via elections. Congress is abdicating responsibility and power, and the electorate is too ignorant to know or care. The whole chain of responsibility is simply being ignored because the people voted for this repeatedly.
True, there’s only ever been one impeachment though. No removal.
Skill issue
Congress, no.
Republicans, yes.
Regardless of the flaws in the system even a perfect system would break when half of the people running it are acting with malice.
Oh completely, I’m not a “both sides” guy. I think my point is quite aligned with yours, which is that the system is actually fairly reflective of the will of the people, it just turns out people are willing to go fascist for $5. The checks and balances aren’t broken, they’re just not being used because a plurality of elected officials represent people who actively want this.

Conservatives have wanted to gut the Fed with a bowie knife since fucking Andrew Jackson, so this isn’t a blunder to them.
Stop, the conservative justices can only get so erect!
Court is adjourned. I’ll be in my chambers ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Good, it should be under democratic control, like it was in the New Deal era. The problem isn’t the loss of Wall Street’s power over the Fed, it’s that Trump is in power.
Why expect consistency from the courts starting now or in the future?
