Actually about the only SCOTUS in US History worth giving any respect is the Warren Court. It is unique, and an outlier.

"Roberts Court" will go down in history as the most prejudicial,
corporate and monied interest friendly, and the most extreme court in
the long history of the United States States since the "Taney Court" of
old. They have done more to actively rewrite the constitution away from
democracy, than any court in my 50 year history of court watching
history.
Chief
Justice John Roberts has been responsible for a perpetuated love of
corporations during his tenure as Chief Justice. The... Read more »

Charles Brown I loss my respect for the SCOTUS when the Burger Court perverted the 14th Amendment to find affirmative action unconstitutional, and undercut Brown v Bd of Ed; and I've been a lawyer since 1979.

Lynda Walker Nice legacy he will leave for his kids and grands. They will be so proud of all the crap he did to their country.
Sally Starr Tuten He and his justices have betrayed the American people and of course sabotaged the constitution. His speech must have been drafted by the Fox News crew. Sounds like the same bs they keep feeding their viewers. W/O Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the court would be...See More

“It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.”
― Mark Twain - Charles Brown Even Mr. Justice Holmes ( and Brandeis) does not deserve his liberal reputation. In the "First Amendment doesn't protect yelling fire falsely in a crowded theater , so it does not protect speech that is a clear and present danger to the state" case, Holmes found that speech urging workers not to go to World War I was _not_ protected as Free Speech; that it was an exception like yelling fire falsely in a theater . That's why he brought up the example; so he could make an _il_liberal decision , not a tolerant and freedom loving decision. He upheld the decision to jail Comrade Schenck.
- Charles Brown In the 1930's , Roosevelt had to threaten to pack the court with more justices in order to get it off its free market fundamentalism. Actually, that was liberal, Oldtime Liberalism, Free Trade Liberalism.
- Charles Brown In the late 1880's , there was _Plessy vs Ferguson_ which established "separate but equal as the law" . It was the racist principle and another distortion of the 14th Amendment, that _Brown v Bd of Ed_ overruled. In the late 1800's , the SCOTUS also established legal fiction of "personhood of the corporation". It was the railroad corporation lawyers who go it through ,again distorting the 14th Amendment. I guess they got people thinking, " if Negroes can be people, why can't corporations be people ? The purpose of both is to make rich people more money."
