Comment: Or the wisdom or experience and knowledge of the court is there to offset the temporary nature of political power, arrogance and political expediency that you find with the inflated ego's of representatives making themselves well known and rich for life.

For a guy who seems to understand just how vain and pretentious our political body can be, I'm surprised you don't accept those who defend the constitution and don't need to suck eggs to win the next election.

I'll take the courts thank you.   Hardly perfect but I don't 'rate' them on selected decisions that don't meet my expectations on some issues.  
Conservatives still harp on prayer in the schools and Roe vs Wade.   Liberals will always be mad about hanging chads and pronouncing that a corporation should be granted the same rights as an individual citizen.    And how many cases do courts rule on in a year?

Don't swallow that junk Motley.   You honestly trust the political body more than the court?  Even when Dems rule?
