The courts chose the wrong side again and again. And now, when the stakes are existential, they expect the public to rally to their defense. They expect a system built on legitimacy to suddenly start functioning again after decades of neglect.

The courts made their bed. Now, they lie in the muck.

Yup. Everyone knows the US legal system is class-based. One system for the rich, one for the rest of us, and they get every privilege while we get shit on by the system again and again. It was built to protect the property of the ruling class. The "checks and balances" part of their job has been limited by design to fit within that purpose.
