You dream my friend. This goes way beyond simple cutthroat politics.

Do you honestly believe that the legislative equivalent of Citizens United would have a chance in hell of passing into law? And on and on and on and on?

The Supreme Court has been the main way for powerful people who can't get legislation passed to make their preferred policy positions into the law of the land. This is the end result: A situation where it is becoming impossible to place judges onto the bench. This is a direct result of having one of the most politicized bodies in your government being the one who decides what the constitution says.
