How do we respond to a Supreme Court that has so obviously disgraced itself?

We're seeing unsigned rulings that affect voting districts that tip the scale to Republicans; and now a Supreme Court Justice who was the only one to vote to keep his wife's emails from an insurrection investigation; and a definite shift to allow States to make decision regarding abortion, LGBTQ issues, even when federal laws would provide protections.

Put it all together, how do we walk away with any respect for the now conservative-leaning institution?

Is our part to elect more and better Democrats. Anything else will shed the Constitution and risk destroying the American Ideal that all people are born equal and have the basic right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of hippiness.

lost our trust. The more we use the benefit of free speech to show our disapproval, the harder it will be for them to sell themselves as having a stellar reputation. They obviously don't have that as long as the Supreme Court is tilted to the right.
