The Supreme Court's recent rulings on abortion, guns and religious liberty have some Americans questioning the court's legitimacy. Here's why.
RELATED: Roe v. Wade: Major takeaways from the Supreme Court leak on abortion case
"This court has lost legitimacy," Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said Sunday on ABC's "This Week." "They have burned whatever legitimacy they may still have had after their gun decision, after their voting decision, after their union decision. They just took the last of it and set a torch to it with the Roe versus Wade opinion."
Entrenched divisions over abortion may further split the nation into two views of the court in the same way voters are divided over the other branches of the government depending on their political affiliations. That raises profound questions for an institution whose legitimacy rests on the notion that it is different from those branches, immune from the partisanship and political pressure that drive Capitol Hill and the White House.

Land of the free, Home of the brave, will soon be nothing but a memory…those of us who do remember will be put down like dogs.
Roe v Wade decision was ridiculous. A child could see through it. Why was it allowed to stand for so long?
A child’s life is important for our God in heaven loves children so we all should give them a chance to be born for to love life is to love God and with that being said everyone take this moment receive God in your life pray to God everyday for his help in life situations read the holy bible everyday believe in God more than you believe in anything else Trust God more than you trust anyone else, praise God more than you praise anything else, love God more than you love anything else and remember with God help all good things are possible all you have to do is never give up also a great place for you to start in the holy Bible is (Psalms 1) and everyday after that read a chapter in Psalms till you finish all the chapters in Psalms then after that start on (Proverbs 1) then everyday after that read a chapter in Proverbs till you finish all the chapters in Proverbs and after that read every chapter of the Holy Bible until you finish it for it will change your life in the most amazing way
Yes if a decision doesn’t go my way question the court’s legitimacy…LOL.

I love how when things don’t go their way it is some how Russia or legitimacy. I think you people really need to rethink why this is happening since most of them don’t even know what a woman is. America abortion laws were insane. Every other countries laws where more restrict on this issue. So what do you think would happen when you kept misusing and abusing the system.
Forced birth in a country that has guns in schools. Ffs.
