Was talking to a friend lately that McConnell's hold up of Scalia's seat and Kavanaugh's meltdown in the Senate, were the real start of the public's mistrust of the Supreme Court. I don't think the issues with Alito and Thomas would be so large if trust wasn't already eroded.

Before, you could have maybe restored public trust in the court by having Kavanaugh and Gorsuch step down, and having a quiet, conservative court. Now four out of nine justices are tainted in the public eye and the court whines about it but doesn't particularly care.
