Loss of Supreme Court legitimacy can lead to political violence
What happens if the highest court in the land loses legitimacy?
You're viewing a single thread.
SCOTUS was never legitimate; they gave themselves the power of judicial review in Marbury v. Madison.
The executive branch can declare that the court is illegitimate at any time, since it is up to the executive branch to enforce the law.
