Now, you may mean simply superior to every other court in the country….OK….true.
But if that spills over into a belief that it is higher in quality, character, judgment and/or moral insight……no way.
1.First of all, it is born of theft and illegitimacy: the Constitution does not provide for what is called ‘judicial review,’ nor is the concept found in English law. The ‘Supreme’ Court simply claimed that power, and it has spread in directions the Founders never imagined.
2.“On one side of this “culture war” is the majority of the American people, largely committed to traditional American values, practices, and institutions.
On the other side is what might be called the “knowledge” or “verbal” class or “cultural elite,” consisting primarily of academics, most importantly at elite schools, and their progeny in the media, mainline churches, and generally, the verbal or literary occupations—people whose only tools and products are words.
At one time the most educated and successful members of a society could be expected to be its strongest defenders. Today, however, for a variety of reasons, they—particularly academics—often see it as part of their function to maintain an adversary relationship with their society, to challenge its values and assumptions, and to lead it to the acceptance of newer and presumably better values.
The justices of the Supreme Court, usually products of elite schools, especially law schools, are themselves members of this cultural class.”

…the effect of the Supreme Court’s interventions is almost always—as on every one of the issues just mentioned—to challenge, reverse, and overthrow traditional American practices and values.” Ibid.
Sooo….if you believe the court ‘superior’….superior to your own best instincts and judgment…..
….then you probably voted for Hillary.
