Ruling overturning Roe v. Wade sparks debate about Supreme Court's legitimacy amid partisan passions

WASHINGTON – In December, as the Supreme Court debated whether to overturn Roe v. Wade, Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor posed a dire warning in the form of a question: How would the nation's highest court, she asked, "survive the stench" of the abortion ruling if it appeared the justices were engaging in politics.

Sotomayor, the most outspoken liberal on the court, said she wasn't sure it could.

Public approval of the Supreme Court was already falling, and the decision last week to overturn its 1973 precedent and wipe away the constitutional right to abortion amplified skepticism of the court among those who support reproductive rights. For those who oppose abortion, the decision fixed a colossal, decades-old mistake.

"This court has lost legitimacy," Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said Sunday on ABC's "This Week." "They have burned whatever legitimacy they may still have had after their gun decision, after their voting decision, after their union decision. They just took the last of it and set a torch to it with the Roe versus Wade opinion."

1. Said this weeks ago - what little moderation Roberts was providing is done. He has been displaced.

He isn't the Chief Justice of anything. He is just another Justice on a Religious Court.

2. No longer the Supreme Court...

Some new name needed...Supreme Clerical Council, perhaps?

3. Barrett, Alito and the others hate the term "Partisan hacks"

These assholes are clearly partisan hacks and I am using this term as often as possible
