“The Supreme Court is legitimate! Democrats just hate losing!”
What You Say
Three justices were appointed by a president who lost the popular vote; one seat was denied hearings for 293 days, another rushed through in 38. Justices Thomas and Alito accepted undisclosed luxury travel from billionaires with cases before the Court. Legitimacy requires accountability — 18-year term limits and binding ethics codes are reforms, not revenge.
The Stab
Legitimacy isn't a lifetime appointment to do whatever you want.
