At any election only 1/3rd of our senators are up for reelection.  So if the Democrats were to suddenly massivly lose popularity and lose the house and the Presidency it could take up to 6 years for the republicans to take the senate depending on how the cards play for reelection.

 

Yes. You don't get rapid change even if the public wants it. Personally I think that's a bad thing.

Actually, your Supreme Court is even worse at that, because your judges have political colour (WTF). Even if the whole country would want a progressive court, it would take 10 years to reduce the power of the Republican judges.
