Yeah, I guess what you described could happen. But usually morons looking to knock off SUVs and Talk Radio don't really become Supreme Court justice. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Supreme Court justices are usually pretty bright fellows.

I have read the federalist papers, thank you. I think there is a difference between interpreting the constitution, and recreating it to serve a personal politicla ideology. I think the later is what's happened to the judiciary. The whole living breathing constitution thing. Judicial tyranny, judicial fiat, are real things, and the products of misguided left wing judges. (for the most part).
