destroying legitimacy of the Supreme Court and with it the rule of law.
It’s funny. When SCOTUS rules in a way they like, say abortion or gay “marriage”, it is as though the ruling has come from God Himself and cannot be questioned. It is “settled law”. But if it rules or even threatens to rule in a way displeasing to liberals, then SCOTU is “sick”, politicized, and in need of correction.
When Republicans put justices on the court the test should be, and generally is, are these jurists originalists? In other words will they apply the Constitution as written and understood?
When Democrats put justices on the court, the test is will they rule in line with Democrat party doctrine? As a result the four leftists on the court are utterly predictable on every social and political issue.
Worse, the court has become an extraconstitutional, undemocratic instrument of Democrat social policy and it has increasingly been perceived to be so by the nation. As the perception increases the legitimacy of the court decreases.
As the court squanders its legitimacy, the rule of law is undermined.
