Circling back to Kavanaugh, somewhere on here I posted comments that we give far to much power to the Supreme Count. My point was this idea that we have three equal branches of government got morphed into a situation where if the court decides to hear a case, that makes that particular topic more important than others. Then, if they rule on that case in a manner that either enacts a new policy or removes a previous policy enacted by the legislative branch, they have in fact become Kings.

Hamilton said basically this in one of The Federalist Papers below.

The judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the constitution; because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them. The executive not only dispenses the honors, but holds the sword of the community. The legislature not only commands the purse, but prescribes the rules by which the duties and rights of every citizen are to be regulated. The judiciary on the contrary has no influence over either the sword or the purse, no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the society, and can take no active resolution whatever. It may truly be said to have neither force nor will, but merely judgment; and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments.

It's certainly gotten out of balance.
