For 25 years now the GOP SCOTUS majority has acted like highly partisan political hacks doing the GOP's dirty work at every turn. This nightmare started with the unconstitutional 2000 Bush vs Gore ruling that stopped the legal Florida vote count and has now culminated in the overturning of the 1965 Voting Rights Act which the former slave states are now using to restore the Confederacy.
Article 3, Section 2 of the U.S. constitution gives Congress the authority to regulate the SCOTUS. Congress. Congress needs to use this authority to take voting cases away from the highly partisan GOP SCOTUS majority and give them to a non-partisan independent commission to rule on.
The GOP SCOTUS majority's highly-partisan rulings that clearly favor republicans has destroyed the SCOTUS legitimacy.
