i think this is an activist court. getting rid of roe v wade was an incredible thing for pro-life. simply because people disagree with an opinion is not a basis for questioning the legitimacy of the court. is the u.s. senate confirmation process to blame for polarizing the entire judicial branch? what you want to do is destroy this guy s life, hold this seat open and hope you win in 2020. donald trump, mitch mcconnell and their republican buddies are shoving aside the wishes of the american people in order to steal the supreme court seat. is the court now out of sync with the american public? a court that s already pretty illegitimate is going to be in full crisis mode. and now new questions of ethical standards. have the justices damaged the court s reputation further by failing to disclose financial relationships and gifts from wealthy donors? the perception of the american people is important to me. the highest court in the land should not have the lo

it has been said that the supreme court is like a family, a family composed entirely of in-laws. 42 years ago, i was assigned to help then judge o connor join that family. it was my first day in a new job at the justice department, and i was proud to be part of her team. i thought our group did a pretty good job. after all, the justice was confirmed 99-0, and we must have had something to do with that. only many years later was i told that she thought i had been slow in getting material to her. i should have learned that when she had a challenge or responsibility before her, her approach was simple and direct. get it done. the way she participated in oral argument at the court is a good example. justices have many different styles on the bench. some like the back and forth of debates. others pose unusual hypotheticals. some badger counsel to get concessions. others spell out a particular theory at length and ask for comment. all this is fine and good. but justice o connor
