Notice how she neglects to mention the Constitution. That needs to be the overriding precedent, not established law (AKA case law) where bad precedent snowballs into more anti-Constitutional BS (e.g., US GVT redefining marriage, blurring the lines between male and female, etc.)

The homely little rug muncher is describing an Activist Court, EXACTLY what a DemonRat heavy SCOTUS would be.

"they instead stray into places where it looks like they’re an extension of the political process or when they’re imposing their own personal preferences,”"Meaning as with Obergefell v. Hodges Justice Scalia stated that the majority's Equal Protection analysis was “quite frankly, difficult to follow" and “fails to provide even a single sentence explaining how the Equal Protection Clause supplies independent weight for its position." " The ruling was nothing more than a "naked judicial claim to legislative — indeed, super-legislative — power; a claim fundamentally at odds with our system of government." "A system of government that makes the People subordinate to a committee of nine unelected lawyers does not deserve to be called a democracy." - http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-556_3204.pdf Even Roberts dissented, while in more activism, there is The Obamacare "Tax" That Chief Justice Roberts Invented.

They can’t forfeit their legitimacy. It’s conferred on them by the President and Congress.

Yet a Supreme Court Justice (Ketanji Brown) hears cases when she can’t define a woman because, as she said, she’s not a biologist.

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan on Monday cautioned that courts look political and forfeit legitimacy when they needlessly overturn precedent and decide more than they have to.What can one say about such blatant hypocrisy?! If she was truly concerned, she would have recused herself from the decision on Obamacare, just as one example.

you forfeited your legitimacy when you accepted the nomination simple because of the color of your skin and what’s between your legs!

Brown V. Board of Education forfeited the Court’s legitimacy? Well well...

So Kagan doesn’t believe in “democracy” ... puts her at odds with FJB.

” Judges create legitimacy problems for themselves ... when they instead stray into places where it looks like they're an extension of the political process” Like when they refuse to recuse themselves from the Obamacare ruling despite having worked on Obamacare prior to being a Justice?

Any court with unqualified political hacks like her and her fellow Democrat nominated affirmative action judges can easily loose legitimacy in the eyes of everyone who has ever read the Constitution!!!

“Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan on Monday cautioned that courts look political and forfeit legitimacy when they needlessly overturn precedent and decide more than they have to.”
From that - if she was not a hypocrite - she could be saying that overturning Plessy v. Ferguson (as was done by Brown v Board of Education) was wrong (Plessy v Ferguson defended “separate but equal” segregationist laws).
But we know she is a hypocrite and what she really meant was SCOTUS decisions that overturn precdedents are only political when she says they are.
