 @603773e5 Supreme Court justices are confirmed by the Senate. In other words, they're already in each other's back pockets. Complaining to "objective" elected officials about the justices' behavior is like complaining to water because it's wet. 
 @ca68e7b8 I disagree. How else are you supposed to let your elected officials know that you aren't happy about something happening on their watch other than by telling them? 
 @603773e5 The point is, they're not going to do anything unless it benefits them. Therefore, contacting them to request a change is like asking a brick wall to turn into water. 
 @ca68e7b8 Okay, so what's the alternative?
