>> We have a Supreme Court that doesn't reflect the majority of the people at all. That can, and will, haunt us for decades to come.

Some will groan at my attempt to try again, but here goes:

IMHO it's not democratic to tolerate the idea that SCOTUS appointments are partisan, swinging according to the side that gets to appoint. The meme that SCOTUS has been packed liberal for ages but now may turn conservative, is in itself anti-democratic. For the pillars to function as intended, there should be bipartisan insistence that SCOTUS appointees are to be strictly legalist in applying constitution and laws. No sides, no leanings. When I read calm reports that SCOTUS voted along partisan lines on this or that, I'm amazed at the focus on payments to a blackmailing porn star rather than the possibility of a politically motivated SCOTUS. Where's the 4th Pillar on that one?

What are the options if as you predict SCOTUS begins issuing antisocial rulings out of step with the majority?

Simple: just as some Congresspeople announce plans to undo Executive Orders of POTUS, Congress can simply make new laws that undo decisions by SCOTUS.

If SCOTUS declares those new laws to be unconstitutional- which it can- then those SCOTUS justices can be impeached by the House and removed from office in Senate.

My concern would be that some people have come to regard SCOTUS as a back door avenue to enact changes that never could be passed by representatives who answer to an electorate. Pack SCOTUS and let the social engineering begin. If this mentality prevails, then you are indeed in trouble.

Another concern would be that some see it as a given that they're the moral majority, even when (for example) Trump's bipartisan approval rating reached 52% last week. Last week he was more popular than Obama in the same week of his administration. People might like to ponder on what that means and to be careful what they wish for.
