>>We don't usually say it in polite company but the "will of the people" in most of the US was, and still is, that white kids shouldn't have to go to school with black kids.
>>The supreme court tried to undo the will of the people with a couple of landmark decisions, but people found ways to have their wills enforced.

And yet, white kids do go to school with black kids in 2020. So what you're really saying is that the will of the people can change... as long as everybody is willinig to listen and as long as there's bipartisan pushback against extremists and their vicious attacks when everything doesn't go their way.

Fun fact: putting on hokey insulting accents to attack tens of millions of fellow citizens is not a workable convincing strategy. You'd think these people who believe they are so clever, might have figured that out from Clinton's 'Basket of Deplorables' but that clip I posted represents 80 seconds of far worse gratuitous viciousness directed at tens of millions of citizens... by people who shriek in horror at deceptively edited clips of Trump.

BTW, that unedited clip I posted now seems to be completely absent from the impartial MSM. I can only find it via social media or Fox, at least using my search engine. Make of that what you will.

Finally: in my experience, the smarter and better qualified somebody is, the more inclined they are to listen and never to be offended because somebody dares to disagree with their imperial majesty. As Keynes put it - when the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir? To which I'd add that no matter how smart people are, you don't need to deceptively edit or misrepresent when truth is on your side.

>>Any possibility that the court is composed of anything but political hacks was eloquently dismissed with Bush V Gore.

Actually I had reason to read that one up once on the topic of state sovereignty. There was no decision SCOTUS could have reached without being called political hacks(!) but at least they tried to be constitutionalists quoting 14th Amendment, election law as the brief of FL state legislature not state SC and federal College deadlines that could not be met by any recount.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
