This past Monday, Associate Justice Elena Kagan said of the Supreme Court’s current reputation in the wake of the most recent term:

“The very worst moments [in the court’s history] have been times when judges have even essentially reflected one party’s or one ideology’s set of views in their legal decisions. The thing that builds up reservoirs of public confidence is the court acting like a court and not acting like an extension of the political process. Judges create legitimacy problems for themselves when they don’t act like courts, when they instead stray into places that looks like they are an extension of the political process or where they are imposing their own personal preferences. If, over time, the court loses all connection with the public and with public sentiment, that is a dangerous thing for democracy.”

On Tuesday, Samuel Alito, author of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade, retorted, telling the Wall Street Journal that, “It goes without saying that everyone is free to express disagreement with our decisions and to criticize our reasoning as they see fit. But saying or implying that the court is becoming an illegitimate institution or questioning our integrity crosses an important line.”

It is rare for a justice to issue such a statement when asked for comment about an ongoing controversy, but the justices on the court now are unlike those who have been there before, with three that would never have been there had it not been for The Federalist Society, Mitch McConnell and the willingness of Donald Trump to go along with anything that “sticks it” to the people who refuse to recognize him for the “stable genius” he truly is.

A new Monmouth University poll finds that nearly 60% of Americans think the Supreme Court is out of touch, and two-thirds (66%) of the public would support creating term limits for Supreme Court justices. This includes clear majorities of Democrats (86%) and independents (63%) and just over half of Republicans (51%).

I’ve never felt toward the court the way I do now, not even with the conservative makeup of the court as it was prior to 2016.

But now...

Hey, Sammy boy, why don’t you go FUCK OFF? And when you’re done, go over there and FUCK OFF. And when you’re done, go over there and FUCK OFF. And then come over here and FUCK OFF. And keep FUCKING OFF, you fucking fuckwitted fucker.

And if you thought last term was bad, this one that started today has the potential to make that one look like the proverbial Sunday morning walk in the park.
