The rule of law is dead in America.
Shoplift food for your family or smoke an herb that comes from the ground, and you go to jail. Take bribes and destroy the country for your own greed and selfishness, and they praise you and make you immune to all consequences.

SCOTUS loses its power when the people lose respect and confidence in it. We are there now. Their decisions are a farce.
But how exactly does that mean it loses its power? Sure it has no public trust, but what does that really mean as far as the power it weilds?
