Judical branch is in place to protect the rights of the few and Constitution so it plays a role. The issue is that the justices defend the powerful rather then thepeoples.
I know the marketing spiel, but I'm talking about how it actually historically functions. In the fine print 'the rights of the few' = 'existing rich people / old money'
Especially since the supreme court never sides with the few when it has the opportunity to grow a spine. Ie: "Jim Crow", "slavery"", internment camps", etc
