That's a good question that I don't know the answer to.
The first group is a relatively new phenomenon and its long-term impact is yet to be determined. It wouldn't be so concerning if over 70,000,000 Americans hadn't voted for Trump.
I'm not so sure about the second group either. In this case its because it is expressly a long term practice for sober, legal scholars to criticize some of the court's decisions without any general, negative impact.
The SCC has been a "partisan" court for many decades and, quite frankly, I think that some of the earlier appointments to the court are more demonstrably partisan - on either side - than some of Trump's appointments. I find Kavanaugh, Barrett and Gorsuch to be more centrist than I expected. All in all, one has to remember this has been a court with a continuous majority of conservative-appointed judges for a half a century.
