The general public view of the supreme court for a long time has been of a uniquely noble and incorrupt institution. Now people are realizing, or it is becoming politically viable to point out, that it is merely another political institution, prone to the same biases, influences, and constraints as any other.
I don't think it's sinister to attempt to align others towards this "political realism" view of the court. Attempting to maintain its mythology of being the sole realm of apolitical reason in the government in fact is pretty nefarious though.
