This could be answered in several ways. Let's take a modern view of the court.
Recent polling suggests the US Supreme court is highly unpopular, with many calling into question the court's politicization and even the juridical review. With Chief Justice John Marshall's decision in Marbury v. Madison established the principle of judicial review, an augmenting the system of "checks and balances" created to prevent any one branch of the Federal Government from becoming too powerful. Today, the influence of politics on the US Supreme Court has weaponized the process of judicial review into a tool that undermines the republic and the well of its people.
Now to prove your thesis, you may look at:
- Polling and data points related to recent Supreme Court decisions
- Sources like The Politicization of the Supreme Court. Greenhaven Publishing LLC, 2021.
- You could take a comparative approach by utilizing sources such as Comparison Of Judicial Review: A Critical Approach To The Model In Several Countries (Wijaya, Ahmad, and Nasran Nasran. "Comparison Of Judicial Review: A Critical Approach To The Model In Several Countries." Jurnal Legalitas 14.2 (2021): 85-106.)
- Finally, the work of Professor Douglas J Amy "The Immense and Disturbing Power of Judicial Review."
