No no no. This thinking is sideways. The injustice of the removal of freedom from an innocent person trumps tradition.<p>The Founding Fathers et al so disliked the injustice of tradition they started a new country.<p>To your other point about being unaccountable, the Supreme Court is checked by the balance of power between the three branches as much as the other two are. They aren&#x27;t all-powerful beings, and I&#x27;ve seen it around this discussion that they hold unmatched power - which just isn&#x27;t true.
