That's a weird assumption - that the court, and only the court, represents the real government. It's like the "unitary executive" theory but for the court. Here's an idea: the US constitution defines three branches, none subservient to the others. If any were to take precedence, most people would point to the elected branches. In common parlance "the government" mostly refers to the executive, sometimes the legislature, never the judiciary. Supporting justices who are overstepping their bounds by legislating from the bench (and quite likely doing so at donors' behest) is a not-so-subtle way to overthrow a government.
