From there it's a slippery slope to not even maintaining a facade of following the Constitution. I don't know if any system can really be "perfect" in balancing different moralities, or having a reasonable recovery mechanism to address what are considered intolerable injustices. I think this was all a matter of time in the grand scheme of things.

SCOTUS is already there. The GOP is also pretty much there.

I'm not sure if the SCOTUS is quite there yet but I get what you mean. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. What a time to live in.
