From BusinessInsider.com:
”US Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan ruminated on the legitimacy of the Supreme Court at a conference full of lawyers and judges, warning that a disconnected court and political appointments could be "a dangerous thing for the democratic system."
Kagan said that SCOTUS justices had their work cut out for them in terms of earning and maintaining "legitimacy" in the eyes of Americans, according to a report from The Washington Post.
"By design, the court does things sometimes that the majority of the country doesn't like," Kagan said. "Overall, the way the court retains its legitimacy and fosters public confidence is by acting like a court, is by doing the kind of things that do not seem to people political or partisan, by not behaving as though we are just people with individual political or policy or social preferences."
In June, Supreme Court justices voted 5-4 to overturn Roe v. Wade, in a majority opinion supported by conservative Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.”
The non-“conservative” members of the Supreme Court are understandably concerned about the legitimacy of the court due to the obviously politicized rulings and opinions of their “conservative” colleagues. US citizens have increasingly lost faith in the Supreme Court, and there is growing concern from a large majority of voters that any and all future decisions will be politically motivated and biased toward right wing ideology.
We, as citizens, can not allow this to stand. We can help show lawmakers that there is wide support for pursuing impeachment of these blatantly partisan justices who have undermined our freedoms and democracy by misleading the public during their confirmation hearings and subsequent ideological rulings.
