Let me throw an anarchist molotov on this hysteria-mongering about the
Supreme Court.

Given how fantastical this apocolyptic thinking is about what the
Supreme Court might do if one or the other candidate gets elected, how

Why should these 9 people have any say over how we lives our lives?

Smells like the divine right of the Sumpreme Court to me.
