No it doesn't. It just takes putting your political toadies in the seats. They just say whatever the fuck they want to say. It's not an institution that means anything. Not any further than 'they get to say whatever the fuck they want' that is. Have you read their decisions? They're barely even trying to pretend anymore. Why are you?
It's the 3rd equal part of government as defined by the US Constitution, so yes, it IS an institution just as much as the Legislative and Executive branches.
You can't ignore a constitutionally mandated part of our government just because you don't agree with them.
Now, it CAN change. We saw it change on abortion rights, all it takes is a concerted effort to appoint judges who feel the way you do over a 50 year period of time.
You should crack a history book before you start spouting off about how other people don't know things. When someone tells you something has been done in the past, it's kinda dumb to just spout off "that's not how that works!" with such a smug, sophomoric attitude.
