How to influence the US Supreme Court
You can influence the Supreme Court of the United States, and it is easier to do than you might think. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has become the linchpin for preserving the Constitution of the United States of America.
Over the past 70 years, SCOTUS has been used to radically change the United States’ legal structure. Progressive justices, both Democratic and Republican, have used the power of the court to accomplish things that could never have been passed through Congress. This was one of the methods Progressives considered as ways to “get around” the limits on government power that the Constitution put into place.
As the people of the United States realized the profound changes the Supreme Court justices were making, they elected Republican presidents. Some Republican presidents started selecting justices who would apply the Constitution as written instead of the way progressive leaders desired. In 2016, the people elected President Donald J. Trump.

Trump appointed three Supreme Court justices who held to the philosophy of originalism and textualism, creating the first majority originalist and textualist court in 70 years. Several previous, obviously unconstitutional decisions were reversed.
The pernicious Chevron doctrine was struck down, removing the assumption that the administrative bureaucrats always know best, returning a semblance of independent judiciary review to administrative decisions.
The Bruen decision was written by Justice Clarence Thomas, confirming the Second Amendment protects the right of the people to bear arms.
Roe v. Wade was reversed, returning the power of regulating abortion to the States.
Those who favor a government of unlimited power were unhappy to see the Supreme Court daring to follow the Constitution. They threatened the justices from the front steps of the highest court and refused to protect justices and encouraged acts of violence. They threatened to gain control of the court through the use of executive and congressional power.
Supreme Court justices are humans. They have varying degrees of courage. They should not, but can be intimidated. It appears that some justices, particularly Chief Justice Roberts, are afraid of the current administration, particularly regarding Second Amendment decisions.

A similar situation happened 90 years ago when the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration threatened to pack SCOTUS. The court backed off and started reversing decisions. Eventually, as Roosevelt was re-elected to an unprecedented four terms, the court became entirely Progressive. Justices read the media. They watch elections.
Constitutional scholar Mark Smith has repeatedly stated: "If former President Donald Trump is reelected in November, especially if the Congress comes under Republican control, Chief Justice Roberts will gain confidence, lose fear, and the court will rapidly start to restore Second Amendment rights, with several decisions designed to slap down those circuit courts which are defying the Supreme Court on the Second Amendment.
This is how we influence the Supreme Court of the United States:
Elect Donald Trump as president of the United States. Keep control of the House of Representatives in Republican hands. Gain control of the Senate by Republicans. Supreme Court justices who believe in originalism, textualism, and the rule of law will be emboldened. They will expect to gain reinforcements on the court, instead of threats to pack the court. They will expect respect and aid from the executive branch instead of not so subtle threats.
Elect a government that is friendly to the Constitution, and the Supreme Court will be emboldened to uphold the Constitution.
