I think the system is broken if the personal affiliations of supreme court judges plays such a big part in the outcome of cases.

It should be about the law, not about politics. They're supposed to put that stuff aside when they take a legal office. Trias politica and all.

This literally was about the law. Ruth Ginsberg held that Roe v. Wade as a bad decision.

> Ruth Ginsberg held that Roe v. Wade as a bad decision.

This is a very misleading reading of that critique.

Ginsburg would've preferred the right to abortion be established a) explicitly a right of women, not a right of doctors to practice and b) via many incremental decisions, making reversal harder.

Practical critique; not "bad law", but "not secure enough to trust". As the recent decision demonstrates quite effectively.

Laws are the result of politics. I think it doesn’t make sense to say you can interpret/reason about laws in a non political way.
