The Supreme Court’s crisis of incompetence - Vox

The justices are barely able to manage their own docket, even though it's been shrinking for decades. They publish incompetently drafted decisions that sow confusion throughout the judiciary, then refuse to accept responsibility when those decisions lead to ridiculous and immoral outcomes. 

They take liberties with the facts of their cases, and they can't even be trusted to read the plain text of an unambiguous statute correctly. In just the last few years, they've overruled so many seminal precedents that law professors no longer know how to teach their classes. 

If the justices did not wield such awesome power, and if lawyers who practice before them did not have to treat them with ritualized obsequiousness, most of the justices would be laughingstocks. Few people this famous are so ostentatiously bad at their jobs. 

And yet, despite their incompetence, the justices continue to claim more and more power — even though they simply do not have the personnel or expertise needed to address every policy question they've added to their own plates.
