Yep, I completely agree.

Obviously the court is conservative right now, and has made a number of decisions that I personally dislike. Thus the timing of this article. But that timing is the limit of my bias here. The wider point is the one you're making: the court is supposed to be apolitical, so why do its decisions and appointments so often seem political?

And what does it say about the separation of powers if a president who is no longer in power gets to maintain his agenda for decades after his term ends thanks to a few timely appointments?

After all, the people didn't want Roe overturned, yet it was. Most people support same-sex, marriage, I think pretty much everybody supports access to contraception, so why is Thomas nudging the court to "reconsider" these rulings?

I think these questions are worth asking regardless of which party is in power.
