The legacy media has pulled out the pitchforks as the justices of the Supreme Court return for a new term, already painting a grim picture of the potential impact the court’s rulings will have on the country.
“Supreme Court, dogged by questions of legitimacy, is ready to resume,” a headline from The Washington Post read on Thursday.
“The court’s 6-to-3 conservative majority quickly moved its jurisprudence sharply to the right, and there is no reason to believe the direction or pace is likely to change. This version of the court seems steadfast on allowing more restrictions on abortion, fewer on guns, shifting a previously strict line separating church and state, and reining in government agencies. If it is the conservative legal establishment’s dream, it has come at a cost,” Washington Post’s Supreme Court reporter Robert Barnes fretted before citing polls showing the court’s record-low approval rating.

The next day, Washington Post deputy editorial page editor Ruth Marcus decried the “cataclysmic Supreme Court term” that resulted earlier this year in the overturning of Roe v. Wade, writing, “Nothing in the behavior of the court’s emboldened majority suggests any inclination to pull back on the throttle.”
“As October Term 2022 gets underway, I search in vain for signs of this heedlessness abating. Seeing few, I worry, for the court and for the country whose future it will shape,” Marcus told readers Friday.
On Saturday, the editorial board of The New York Times suggested the Supreme Court “cannot perform its critical role in American government” since the American people no longer trust it as an institution.
