The Supremes frequently err (Hugo Black's decision in Korematsu vs U.S. par
example). In a larger sense, the existance of an entity like the Supreme
Court will probably become generally recognized as "wrong" as we transition
to non coercive methods of social organization.
Slavery and bleeding were once considered natural and appropriate.

Yes, the Supreme Court follows the election returns. And it is a living
Constitution. But I suspect the Nine's view will prevail far past Mr.
Bell's existence.
