"if one believes in our Constitution, all of it, then one must support the legitimacy of the SCOTUS."

Up until about 1920? or so the Suprimes would view cases , case by case in light of what the Constitution actually said.

Then the somehow they switched to reviewing cases to include what lower courts had already decided.

This means any blarney pulled out of the ear wax of a low court "political judge" has standing vs the constitution.

So political ideals , not the Constitution is responsible for 4 judges views.

"Scalia had a bias, so does Ginsburg. This is good, not bad. "

Only "good" if the ideas can not stand honest Constiutional review.

Hardly the Founders concept.
