We are. Learn how to law.
You're a big follower of the idea that SCOTUS has virtually unlimited power to write law via creative interpretation, until Congress gets off it's ass and does something to write actual law that negates said creative interpretation?
Pretty sure I mentioned that I'm opposed to activist SCOTUS judges. Everyone should be, in theory. While the activism is going your way, it may seem alright. The moment the tide turns against you, you have no recourse. This is part of why you're terrified of a stacked Court.
Activist judges preclude justice, rather than insuring it. Executive are the enforcers. They can creatively enforce in truly terrible ways. Legislative are the writers. They can make terrible laws that are unjust as can be. Preventing activists who write from the bench insures that there's a power that can keep the enforces and writers both in check.

Umm, that's pretty darn important. Are you saying that it doesn't really matter if Trump is in charge or Bernie Sanders? Given how much power Congress has given the Presidency, I'd say that it matters A LOT.
Depends who's on the Court, and who's in Congress. Bernie's days are limited though. I see far more extreme fish in the pond atm.
