No. Justices have the legitimacy that the legal interpretive community gives them—that’s why the political salient cases are just two more or less plausible readings of a complex text supported by endless appendages of case law.

This would be an argument for doing away with not just the Court but lawyers & laws. Just have everything decided by randomly selected juries. You're denying the legitimacy of law itself.

All the justices claim to believe in the constitution. That’s why it’s silly to believe a particular method always leads to the political outcome you prefer. And that’s it’s the only legitimate reading.
