The Supreme Court is the arbiter of what the constitution means and they set the landscape of the current law of the land.
Their opinions can change (abortion), but it takes generations to make that change.
No it doesn't. It just takes putting your political toadies in the seats. They just say whatever the fuck they want to say. It's not an institution that means anything. Not any further than 'they get to say whatever the fuck they want' that is. Have you read their decisions? They're barely even trying to pretend anymore. Why are you?
It's the 3rd equal part of government as defined by the US Constitution, so yes, it IS an institution just as much as the Legislative and Executive branches.
You can't ignore a constitutionally mandated part of our government just because you don't agree with them.
Now, it CAN change. We saw it change on abortion rights, all it takes is a concerted effort to appoint judges who feel the way you do over a 50 year period of time.
I don't think you're being very present in our conversation. You're not following very well.
When did I say it wasn't an institution? When did I say it wasn't a branch of government?

Oh there are much easier and faster ways to deal with them. Like for instance just ignoring them.
When did I say it wasn't an institution?

That's implied when you say "just ignore them."
You do NOT have the option of ignoring a branch of government defined by the Constitution.
Anymore than you can choose to ignore the Executive or Legislative branches.
sacred, should be respected
that means anything
That’s implied when you say “just ignore them.”
No it isn't
You do NOT have the option of ignoring a branch of government defined by the Constitution.
Yes you do. It's been done before.
Anymore than you can choose to ignore the Executive or Legislative branches.
Yes fuck those branches as well but this is off topic
Wow, so you essentially have absolutely no idea how our system of government works.
Good luck with "just ignore it" if you ever end up in court, I guarantee that will not go well for you.
You should crack a history book before you start spouting off about how other people don't know things. When someone tells you something has been done in the past, it's kinda dumb to just spout off "that's not how that works!" with such a smug, sophomoric attitude.
Cite your sources then if you're so confident. Show me when someone has told the Supreme Court to piss off and gotten away with it.
You don't get to just say "yeah they have" and just drop it.
They are the SUPREME court. There is no higher authority in US law.

Telling the Supreme Court "No, I don't think I will" is not an option.
