Media skewer Supreme Court 'legitimacy' as new term gets underway
Fox News
Several media outlets are sounding the alarm about the Supreme Court as it returns for a new term following the blockbuster ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.
"The court’s 6-to-3 conservative majority quickly moved its jurisprudence sharply to the right, and there is no reason to believe the direction or pace is likely to change. This version of the court seems steadfast on allowing more restrictions on abortion, fewer on guns, shifting a previously strict line separating church and state, and reining in government agencies. If it is the conservative legal establishment’s dream, it has come at a cost," Washington Post's Supreme Court reporter Robert Barnes fretted before citing polls showing the court's record-low approval rating.

The next day, Washington Post deputy editorial page editor Ruth Marcus decried the "cataclysmic Supreme Court term" that resulted earlier this year in the overturning of Roe v. Wade, writing, "Nothing in the behavior of the court’s emboldened majority suggests any inclination to pull back on the throttle."
