From MSNBC.

The Supreme Court lacks a mechanism to actually enforce its opinions, as a form of balance on the unelected status and lifetime appointments of its nine justices. Thus, the Court’s power and legitimacy rely on the trust that we, as a society, place in it. But as the Court tears down decades-old precedent in unpopular decisions that roll back long-held personal rights, and Justices Thomas and Alito face crises of credibility, that trust is crashing. When people stop believing in the systems that keep democracy running, those systems will cease to function.
