Linda Greenhouse's opinion was much more nuanced than that.

Regarding politicization of the supreme court, it has been going on for years, and the fact that the 5 justices nominated by republicans are going out of their way to overturn precedent is just the most recent example. There is a reason each president has nominated justices that are younger and more partisan. That is an easier way to affect policy than constitutional amendments.
