My favorite to hate is the 'load the SCOTUS with politically rather than judically motivated' members program.

When I did my citizenship studies I was under the impression that the SCOTUS was there as a 'checks and balance' to make sure the goverment 'toed the line' now it appears that it is really there so that the government can actually have them debate and redraw the line. This to me is the scariest thing that is happening in the US today. Forget illegal immigration, forget gun control, forget health care. What we are seeing is the eroding of the 'checks and balance' system that was put in place to protect the people from the governemt becoming too powerful. The SCOTUS is becoming something is shouldn't ever be and that is a government puppet. If you need proof just look at the recent MacDonald v's Chicago vote. They (SCOTUS) are supposed to interpret the law, how can it not be a 9-0 vote if they did that?

I fear that SCOTUS is going to eventually be a government leg that will help the incumbant president and congress have a backdoor to making new laws that it was never intended to have by the founding fathers.
