This is largely the history of the Supreme Court
Everyone thinks it's Brown v. Board of Education, but it is mostly Plessy v. Ferguson. Basically no other country has a high court as insulated as ours. The best thing that could happen to this country is that this Court destroy the institution's legitimacy so that enough people get behind real reform -- preferably behind an amendment, but at least behind a well designed reform short of that. Simply making it larger, like 15 or whatever, would be an improvement.
