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?

Incidentally, the term "assault rifle" specifically is also a real thing. The coining of the bullshit term "assault weapon" (which really just means any big black scary polymer gun) annoys me to no end, because it's exceedingly clear what the "assault" in assault rifle (which assault weapon is clearly trying to riff off of) actually means if one bothers to look at the historical context. It's specifically intended to mean assault in a military sense, as in assaulting a position, assaulting a base, etc. An assault rifle is a rifle with features convenient for doing that, namely effectively being a fusion between a battle rifle and a sub-machine gun. It's a gun that's designed to be highly useful both at fairly long range, and at very close range.
