Isn’t it strange that the future of this country may lie in the hands of 9 black robed justices.
Strange is not the word I would have used.
If Democracy is contingent on the SC, we are definitely lost. Democracy is only viable if we the people say it is so.

If you look at Pew Research in the confidence level of how elections are administrated, 22% say very well, 48% somewhat well, 22% not very well with 9% not well at all.
Now confidence in election results per Gallup - accurately cast and counted in this year’s election -- very confident, somewhat confident, not too confident or not at all confident? 63% answered very or somewhat confident. Broken down 85% of democrats are very or somewhat confident, 67% of independents, but only 40% of republicans.
Which closely aligns with the percentage of voters who think Biden legitimately won in 2020, 64% say’s Biden did, 36% says Biden didn’t. Broken down – 95% of Democrats state Biden won legitimately, 68% of independents, 26% of Republicans. Question 29. Now go to question 30, Would you say that Donald Trump legitimately won the 2016 election, or not? 69% of all Americans says he did, 31% say he didn’t. Broken down 53% of democrats say Trump won legitimately, 47% says Trump didn’t. 65% of independents, 90% of republicans also said Trump’s win was legit.
Notice the lack of trust republicans showed in 2020 results to their full trust in the 2016 results. Same for the low percentages of democrats who thought Trump won legitimately in 2016 to their very high trust percentage in Biden’s win in 2020. Independents, 2/3rds trusted or thought whoever won regardless of party both years, their win was legit.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
