The court’s always been politicized
U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts, speaking at a New York synagogue on Tuesday night, lamented the perceptionthat
the Supreme Court is becoming
the justices’ decisions are guided primarily by their partisan affiliation.
“When you live in a polarized political environment, people tend to see everything in those terms.
That’s not how we at the court function
the results in our cases do not suggest otherwise,”
Roberts pointed out that of the court’s 19 decisions last term that split 5-4, only seven rulings divided along ideological lines.

Yep.
People still don't seem to get that SCOTUS is a political sovereign, coequal (in principle) with the President and the US Congress.
worst kept secret tbh...
although the politicization doesnt really affect most decisions, it affects the ones that get national attention because those are the ones with political implications
