Associate Justices of the Supreme Court Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor said they are concerned the courts legitimacy could be undermined if it is viewed as politically divided.
What did they say?
We dont have an army, we dont have any money, the only way we get people to do what we say that they should do is because people respect us and respect our fairness, Kagan said in an NJ.com report.
Part of the courts legitimacy depends on people not seeing the court in the way that people see the rest of the governing structures of this country now. In other words, people thinking of the court as not politically divided in the same way, as not an extension of politics, but instead somehow above the fray, she also said.
The two Princeton graduates made their comments Friday during a She Roars womens conference Friday at their alma mater. They avoided saying anything about the contentious atmosphere surrounding Brett Kavanaughs confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Sotomayor and Ginsberg could be the next two to leave the court.
Aw, they want an undivided radical communist activist court. And now they don’t have one anymore. Aw, poor babies. My heart bleeds, NOT.
LOL. These 2 LIB losers were chosen by a fraudulent Prez who was a traitor . They should resign immediately .
As the left drags the country further to the left, they claim that they are the staus quo, and that the Right, who represent long held standards, are out of the mainstream. Similar to how they control language, they also try to control perception. They flip everything upside down. Even after they lie to destroy an honorable conservative to keep him from a position of high power that they think belongs to them, they place themselves in a position to judge what they cant destroy.

Well, they could try upholding the Constitution instead of interpreting out of existence.
Maybe they are upset that the Court got a Yalie instead of a Princeton grad. :)
“These 2 Gargoyles can go hang around outside on the roof”
LOL. - Well played.
Wow- Kagan, Eric Holder, an errold Nadler have got their “legitimacy meme” talking points already...
This is the utterly transparent new chapter in the recruitment of John Roberts. Hey, it worked for Obamacare.
The following chapter will be demanding that a lib replace Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg.
Hey you fat dyke, you swore an oath to uphold the constitution, and you think the constitution is something you do in the morning after you eat a bran muffin. You, Souter, Ginsburg and Soatamanure should be throw off the court. Luckily Ginsburg is half dead and the Latina has serious diabetes, and Souter....well here’s hoping for a not so long life!. In a few years you won’t amount to a fart in a hurricane.
....”Similar to how they control language, they also try to control perception.”.......
Which is ‘deception’... concealment or distortion of the truth for the purpose of misleading.....it’s like when you used to get your sister to agree to do all your chores for a month.

Now recall that recent GOP Presidents nominated hard-Left judges Souter and Stevens, as well as Centrists O'Connor, and Kennedy.
A Democrat President has not nominated a Conservative Justice since Truman named Vinson in 1946... 72 years... before Bill Clinton was born.
Democrats now shudder at the notion of legislatively passing their ideas... even though Kavanaugh is likely to wind up being a Centrist replacing a Centrist, leaving the Court as the same 3-2-4 (Roberts and Kavanaugh in the middle) that it was just 3 months ago.
I get the sense they’re both uneasy about having to deal with Kavannaugh...who has an exceptional constitutional intellect....and they know it.
I would also add a male Judge would not have spoken about being concerned in a setting as that. Their woman hood is clearly in view.
Then retire.
Those two are as sharp as a Bowling Ball.
I remember one of those when I was a teen. It was in a rural area for quite a few years.
I had no idea what it was about at the time.
