by taking over the judiciary, conservatives can essentially legislate from the bench. they can essentially write and reshape laws via hearing. theyve already given up any perception of judicial restraint when they overturned on precedent after another with citizens united, shelby county v holder, etc.

they dont even need congressional majorities or a president to create/amend/anull laws.

we could conceivably have a dem president, dem senate, and dem house...and have any laws they pass get completely nullified, or have major parts defanged, by a conservative court system.
