It’s pretty clear that the Judicial System is currently the most corrupt government institution in the US. Judges and lawyers have become ideologically aligned with the left and are openly defiant of the Constitution and any laws that get in the way of their political ideology and activism. This isn’t limited to blue states, as every state including Texas is filled with leftist activists who are lawyers, DAs, and judges, etc. The corruption is dire and every facet of the Judicial system has been ideologically captured by the left. They are creating laws out of thin air through rulings in favor of leftist activism and the right just accepts it. I know this isn’t a new phenomenon, but the blatant disregard and arrogance the Judicial Branch displays is worse than ever. The state of Judicial Power makes it seem that the Founding Fathers failed to understand how the Justice System could be so systemically molded into a tool for enforcing authoritarianism. I do wonder if the Founding Fathers intended for the citizenry to be the real check and balance against the Judicial System through either non-compliance or direct resistance to tyranny of the courts?

Political power, foundationally, always rests with the people first, as a natural right. Any form of government, group dynamic, or leadership only exists upon the direct or tacit approval of the people. Tyranny can come in many forms, and concentration of power is dangerous, no matter where or what for. Tyranny can only exist when the people allow it to exist, by a people unwilling to violently and mercilessly destroy it and the people responsible. The Founding Fathers knew this, which is why they included the 2nd Amendment in the Constitution, giving the people, up until its erosions, equal footing to any army a tyrant could employ against them. It's a recognition by the authors that political power, and violence, rests with the people, wholly inseparable, and can only be granted to another entity to do for us with the unwritten understanding that we can take it back, at any time, for any reason, and if any dare use their loaned powers to trample upon us, their life becomes forfeit.
There is only one answer to tyranny. This lesson has been learned before. We're in the process of learning it again.
What's the Franklin quote, "Gentlemen we've given you a country, let's see if you can keep it."
"A Republic, if you can keep it!"
Thanks.
