And nothing will continue to happen since for some reason the Supreme Court is running rampantly unchecked.

It's like the founders figured that because they have lifetime appointments, they'd be free from corruption and political influence.

But lifetime appointments just means there's so much more time for companies and rich people to influence the justices actions with repeated donations.

Not some reason. Republicans control the House and are a single accident away from control of the Senate.

They are complicit.

The majority of them are in on it, so of course there won't be anything done. The amount of corruption is through the roof after being left unchecked for so long.
