Are Conservative Justices Undermining the Legitimacy of the Supreme Court?

That's Katrina vanden Heuvel's claim in a WaPo online column. All the evidence I've seen is that Bush v. Gore had no lasting effect on the public's views of the Court's legitimacy. Whether a Court that strikes down the Obamahealth care law and part of the Voting Rights Act would lose public confidence is an interesting question to consider and potentially test.
