The transformation of the court into a partisan player contradicts the central premise of democracy.

Because they are politicians being wined and dined and bribed--excuse me, lobbied--by wealthy corporate interests.
This is a good article, but what I want to know is, what are we supposed to do about it? The checks and balances built into our political system have failed. There is currently no check on the Supreme Court. They have the power to do whatever they want.
Everyone says "vote", but they're preaching to the choir. Obviously anyone who cares is already voting.
