The fact that SCOTUS is usually not in the habit of revisiting decisions for around 70 years or so never seems to bother them. Or that they need an actual case and cert to make a different decision and change precedent. A SCOTUS change seems to be the magic wand or pixie dust they cling to now for change, since the voters won't give it to them.

They dwell in a fantasy world where "just one more Liberal/Progressive justice" and they'll quickly overturn every single bad decision, Heller and McDonald will be at the top of their list.

Just like the conservative majority quickly overturned Roe v Wade. and blocked Gay marriage, ... oh wait. Gee maybe SCOTUS isn't really a political tool for losers to use?
