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.

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

I'm sure those weren't the only unconstitutional things they wanted to eliminate.

Like Dred Scott or Plessy v. Ferguson?

The gerrymander wasn't ruled unconstitutional. The procedures to bring about the vote were ruled unconstitutional.

The maps that were drawn would pass constitutional scritiny.

Booker is a joke.

Notice that in those decisions they convinced a greater number of justices, that the prior decision of the court was in error. Often getting the unanimous opinion of those making that judgement.

Racism is an excuse for violating the Constitution.

Straw Man argument.

Some stare decisis is more equal than others?
 
Yet it failed
Lib loons once again presenting “what if” as what is
Failure from an extraneous cause isn't a failure of the argument.

An example is when six senators tried to have the "Line Item Veto" ruled unconstitutional, they failed. Not by the argument, but because of something extraneous to the case. That they lacked "standing" to bring the case.

Ultimately, when a proper set of plaintiffs took the issue to court. The supreme court ruled on the merits, and threw out the line item veto as unconstitutional

Your first sentence is gobbledegook and incorrect
The illegal package failed

When a more unified court determines that a less decisive decision was wrong, then it is correct to throw out the old judgement.

It's no different then when it happens to scientific theories or best practices. When you convince a greater number of scientists or doctors that the old theory or method was wrong, and more of them agree to replace, than had taken the opposite view, that new judgement was rightly made.
