re: What does a conservative Supreme court system mean for those in their 20s

if people in their 20s hold their Congressmen's feet to the fire it wouldn't matter so much who is on on SCOTUS

Exactly

Congress is where the current public sentiment gets turned into law. And these folks have to submit themselves to re-election every two years. They have to be sure they are reacting to what the public'' really wants - not just react to some mob outside their bedroom window, or the gleam in some university professors's eye. But they have to do it within the constraints of the Constitution - else wise it gets slapped down.

And if they don't like it - they can write an amendment to the constitution to enshrine whatever new 'right' they want into the constitution.

Just like it was supposed to be - like it was when USA became the greatest force for good the world has ever seen.
