    This.

    The Supreme Court dominates our elected branches of government because our political leaders lack the strength to do otherwise. We deserve no better than the yoke the court has fashioned for us, because we are the ones putting it on. source.

          Point of order: the Constitution doesn’t set the number of justices, it gives that power to Congress.
