If half the country thinks the Supreme Court is basically just nine political referees instead of an impartial arbiter, maybe it feels illegitimate because it mostly rules like it’s playing for one team. Polls shows trust has tanked and people think justices rule on politics, now law.

Utterly morally bankrupt. Poisoned the notions of impartiality, fairness and justice.

At this point our entire government is corrupt and needs to be removed and things need to change. Checks and balances don’t work when all 3 are compromised.

I accepted that around the same time Kavanaugh was confirmed.

The Supreme Court isn’t supposed to be partisan, but lifetime appointments have turned it into a political weapon. Calling it illegitimate isn’t far off. Illegitimate or not, the Court has lost public trust. When decisions consistently align with ideology over precedent, people stop believing in the institution.

I remember saying this at least a decade ago…then all the bribery came out and zero accountability was upheld…like you know it’s a uniparty about war and profits only

They’re super fair if you give them luxury RVs and free trips.

Through July, *all* of the lower federal courts, including many conservative justices, ruled against Trump around 93% of the time.
This one court reversed that and ruled *for him* by roughly the same percentage.
If they seem partisan it’s probably because they are.

Not just replaces, why the fuck do we need a Supreme Court to begin with?? What gives them the right to a life time appointment and a final say on whatever case is before them?

No more lifetime appointments. Change it so that each President appoints two justices during their term guaranteed. This takes the pressure off and ensures no one can stack the courts.

The solutions are lacking in the article. Other than forcibly removing justices or stacking the court; there aren’t many options. Unfortunately, our country has elected two presidents who didn’t win the popular vote who have appointed a majority of the current justices. Maybe we can do something about that? Bush (2001-2009) and Trump’s first term have seen the majority of appointments. The way we elect our presidents is broken and needs to be fixed.

100%. 6 have abandoned their oaths to protect the constitution. They have at many times violated plain text of the constitution and applied different strategies to applying the law whenever it benefited them. They are not a court of justice but lawlessness. Throw the book at them for their sedition when we’re cleaning up the country of MAGA.
