The Dems can do the same, especially after the Dodd and other horrible rulings by the Roberts Court. People understand now that the Supreme Court affects them. Supreme Court justices appointed by modern Democratic Presidents are not "corrupt" and never have been, and I think most people understand that. You're projecting your defeatism onto the electorate.
