“If #SCOTUS and its defenders want to persuade those who aren’t already onboard that the justices’ behavior in these cases is all fine and dandy, a good place to start would be responding to the critics directly and persuasively—rather than caricaturing their arguments and knocking down strawmen.”

From what I hear, many justices on the SCOTUS have consciously taken the position that it would be improper for them to engage like that.

They don't believe it would amount to politicization of the non-political branch to go on a campaign of persuasion outside of the opinions they hand down.
