Injustice has reigned in our political system for almost a century. You had moments of justice, but only when politically beneficial. From giving human rights to corporations. To saying who you have or don't have the choice to associate with..
They've used their position to muck up the common understanding of the provisions in the U.S. constitution. Even such clauses as the Supremacy and Commerce Clauses have lost their real power due to gradual undermining. Such political drama, from both sides, should tell us that their is entirely TOO MUCH POWER centralized into the political/economic/military/media/religious strictures in our society.. they keep trying to recreate things according to their personal morality..

Kyrin, while correct legal proceedings have occured, it isn't a victory per se so much as business as usual. Slandering opponents is a relatively common practice sadly (rape accusations go beyond this notion, but the point remains).
Anobi, you seem to have some good points, but I honestly have a hard time getting through that massive wall of unformated and grammatically messy text.
Uzima, as often as I have libertarian leanings, it's important to realize that the founding fathers didn't write the Constitution with the hindsight we have. Freedom is important to balance against reasonability. Oddly enough the SC is the sort of conscience meant to balance principles against fact patterns, and imo is the biggest guarantor of freedoms.

As for the ussc, it has the exact same power it has always had and as the constitution intended. There is no travesty of justice and no abuse of power evident in any of these proceedings.

I don't think the founders even set up the current constitution as the end all. However, there are certain principles it's based on, and certain provisions, that are important for keeping power from centralizing. I'm also pretty sure they had good hindsight and foresight.
I agree that freedom cannot exist without responsibility. Though I don't think anyone can compel somebody to responsibility beyond what they agree to or what they violate..
It's a thin line but it's important to not cross it. For The Force, I respect the inherent freedom of all conscious beings..
