What better way to get "real" people on your side than to have entrenched political powers (politicians, conservative media like The Wall Street Journal) against you?
Yes. Outlawing courts the way Nazi Germany did seems a bit dangerous (o.k. a lot dangerous), taking on dictatorial powers (if the courts don't agree I'll disband them) rather than being part of a three part government where the courts protect the people from politicians both liberal and conservative (health care, interracial marriage, desegregation and so on) seems like a good way to protect the people from those in power.
Problem is, people are pissed at those in power so if someone is running against those in power, seems like a good way to win for me.
Scares the shit out of me. But still, brilliant.
