It's time to accept that the US supreme court is illegitimate and must be replaced

[Mister Ed]

7. The genesis of the Court of Corruption:

George W. Bush was installed as president, in part, by his father's Supreme Court nominees, along with his brother's corrupt and highly partisan secretary of state.

Bush then nominated Roberts and the unabashedly partisan Alito to the court.

Mitch McConnell prevented President Obama's traditionalist, middle-of-the-road, institutionalist nominee, Merrick Garland, from even being voted upon, on the bogus grounds that the nomination came as Obama was beginning the final year of his term.

Thus, Donald Trump, after losing the popular vote but winning the electoral college, was free to nominate right-wing activist Neil Gorsuch to the court instead.

Trump appeared to successfully pressure swing-voter Anthony Kennedy to resign from the court, making way for his nomination of the beer-guzzling Brett Kavanaugh, despite allegations of Kavanaugh's history of sexual misconduct.

Finally, upon the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the same Senate Majority Leader who had once proclaimed that nominees should not be considered in an election year rushed Trump's nominee for Ginsburg's replacement through the senate, with scant weeks remaining in Trump's term, and with voting already underway!

So yes, this court is utterly illegitimate. Its ill-gained right-wing supermajority now issues decrees at whim, often without even bothering to write an opinion, and often fast-tracking cases the cases it wishes to through the "shadow docket". It has dropped all pretense of legitimacy.
