Will, you're confusing "politics" and "power", but that's an easy mistake to make. They're similar but mutually exclusive. SCOTUS is the ultimate "decider" - and the more you think about that statement, the more you'll realize how multilayered it is. And the thing about SCOTUS - without the reforms dc proposed (which I like, BTW) - is that it's forever. It is the culmination of a career, justices don't work that hard, and it is the pinacle of what a lawyer is supposed to aspire to be. Unless you're loquitur, who's probably hoping that Larry Flynt needs help again in the future.
