It's ironic how throughout the 20th century when we saw radical decisions come out of SCOTUS that benefited the left's agenda Democrats never called the court corrupt or illegitimate (nor did the Republicans). Now that we have a court that rules the closest to the original intent of the Constitution in my lifetime it's suddenly corrupt and needs reformed. This is the same kind of rhetoric and proposed actions we see from far-left socialist regimes throughout the world. They get into power and install their own corrupt thugs to destroy the judicial and constitutional institutions to give them everything they want that they can't win through legitimate means.

If democrats had their way, there would be no supreme court. You just take a poll and the majority rules.

What you fail to grasp is that Roberts and Alito have from early in their legal careers wanted to get rid of the voting rights act / roe v wade / etc.
And the rational behind doing so doesn't use prior law (stare decisis) or even a through legal analysis, but instead relies on their own judgement of the state of racism in America. Using the conclusion that racism no longer exists.

Thus the laws enacted by congress and signed into law, no longer have a compelling government interest, and violate the constitutions equal protection.
And adding a "dig" at the current deadlocked / do nothing congress said that those provisions of the voting rights act they are stripping from the legislation can be passed "anew" if they disagree that racism has been eliminated in America.

If you are old enough and paid attention, you will remember when Thomas was being "questioned" by Joe (new hair plug) Biden and Ted (Hero of Chappaquiddick) Kennedy, two of the biggest horn dogs in the Senate on morals. Kennedy was sweating like a whore in church and Biden was salivating. What a clown show that was.
 
When it does not go their way they tantrum and name call which is why these children must be dismissed from power

The Virginia failed gerrymander was ruled unconstitutional by the Virginia court and not by SCOTUS.
