Ginsburg Ethics Charges, Can the Court lose its Legitimacy?
One blogger claims to have gotten the LATimes on the case. Go to that link for the details (basically Ginsburg was giving speeches to interest groups who would litigate in front of her later). My gut reaction? Maybe enough of these scandals will give the public the idea that the Court is inherently political. And if the public comes to that idea, will the Court lose its legitimacy? If the Court loses its legitimacy, what weapon to enforce its decisions does it have left, being bereft of both sword and purse?
