I think the correct view is that the Supreme Court, on matters of policy, has simply just turned into another legislative body, albeit one without the usual measures of accountability for such. They now merely construct whatever legal facade they choose after starting out with the policy outcomes they prefer. Oddly enough, as it's mostly the left who supports this disillusionment, it's Gorsuch who is as close as a bastion of legalism as we have right now.

Maybe I was naive before then, but Bush v. Gore was my own eye-opener there, and it has been downhill ever since.
