Associate Justices of the Supreme Court Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor said they are concerned the court’s legitimacy could be undermined if it is viewed as politically divided.

“We don’t have an army, we don’t have any money, the only way we get people to do what we say that they should do is because people respect us and respect our fairness,” Kagan said in an NJ.com report.
“Part of the court’s legitimacy depends on people not seeing the court in the way that people see the rest of the governing structures of this country now.

Well,DUH!
The most important reason a lot of us voted against Clinton was for this very moment in history.
If they are so worried about a divided Supreme Court, they could go and read the Constitution and then figure out if a ruling in Constitutional or not...
Obammy
That respect gets diminished when a member of SCOTUS opens their month to reveal their partisanship.

Gee you dumb bitches, I wonder who gave you that idea?
Ha! Well since we do t know his real identity we figured we’re free to call him (?) whatever seems fitting
