The left wing theory is that appeals court rulings are fine as long as the rulings tend to go liberal but the Supreme Court is irrelevant? Maybe the left thinks that stodgy old Bill of Rights is irrelevant too?

The left long to rule with an iron fist and the SCOTUS is getting in the way of that.The left wing theory is that appeals court rulings are fine as long as the rulings tend to go liberal but the Supreme Court is irrelevant? Maybe the left thinks that stodgy old Bill of Rights is irrelevant too?
Dems are DUMB hence their stupid threads. I say whatever, the Trump SCOTUS will bitch slap Dems for decades and undo all their attempts to legislate from the bench. Dems are screwed now. Meanwhile the idiots don't get it, Trump paved the way for multiple more Trump like POTUS to come, the Dem pain and suffering has only just begun.
Self reflection isn’t one of your strong suits huhAnd then there's the fact that Dems are petulant 2 year olds who throw a tantrum every time they don't get their way. Hence Dems should not be in charge of anything.
That's all you got?Self reflection isn’t one of your strong suits huh

Congress can't figure out how to work together.Let’s start here: Article 3 of the Constitution gives the Supreme Court “original jurisdiction” in all cases affecting “Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party.” That part is obviously in effect, although most cases between states occur in the lower federal courts established by Congress. The Constitution then states that in all other cases, “the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction.” This, too, is in full effect.
But then the Constitution tells us that the court’s appellate jurisdiction is subject to “such Exceptions” and “under such Regulations” as “the Congress shall make.”
This is where it gets interesting. The court’s appellate jurisdiction accounts for virtually everything it touches. And the Constitution says that Congress can regulate the nature of that jurisdiction. Congress can strip the court of its ability to hear certain cases, or it can mandate new rules for how the court decides cases where it has appellate jurisdiction. And as I recently mentioned, it can even tell the court that it needs a supermajority of justices to declare a federal law or previous decision unconstitutional.

It, too, can be checked and balanced.www.nytimes.com
Stay tuned. There are other remedies other than adding seats to reign in an out of control activist court. All of them Constitutional.
It didn't give USSC anything, they seized the power via Marbury....That's why Jefferson was pissed off about it.The case Marbury vs. Madison gave the Supreme court the authority to declare what is Constitutional and what is not.
