The U.S. Supreme Court is seemingly under fire right now from every political direction.

From the right, President Donald Trump has spent the last year pestering, bullying, and lambasting the Court, including launching repeated attacks against two of his own judicial appointees for daring to rule against him.

Meanwhile, from the left, progressive activists are apparently gearing up to launch another big political push in favor of court packing, judicial term limits, and other measures designed to strip the Court's conservative justices of the 6–3 majority they now command over the bench.

Is anybody willing to say even just one kind word for the Supreme Court as it is currently constituted?
