I mean perhaps we shouldn't organize our society in such a way that it results in 9 berobbed priests deciding if we have fundamental rights or not roughly once every 6 months with little to no recourse inside said system for justice if they decide we don't?

Perhaps, and I'm just speaking theoretically here, America is not in fact the utopian ideal of democracy and goodness in the world and maybe, just maybe, doing things differently than this would be better.
