Confidence in U.S. Supreme Court Sinks to Historic Low

[BlueCheeseAgain]

From Gallup:

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With the U.S. Supreme Court expected to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision before the end of its 2021-2022 term, Americans' confidence in the court has dropped sharply over the past year and reached a new low in Gallup's nearly 50-year trend. Twenty-five percent of U.S. adults say they have "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court, down from 36% a year ago and five percentage points lower than the previous low recorded in 2014.

Only 25% of Americans have confidence in the court. Even Republicans only come in at 39%.

An unelected branch of people with lifetime appointments who have the final say about our laws has to be trusted by the public, or else our democracy is as risk. I think Roberts kind of understands this, but the other five conservative justices seem determined not to rest until this number hits 0.

1. It is a fucking whorehouse

Blue states should ignore their bullshit

[wnylib]

28. Yup. SC is illegitimate because it is

aligned with forces in the country who are undermining democracy.

I don't just regard them with low esteem. I consider them invid, irrelevant, and illegitimate.

2. Republicans fuck up everything they touch. Everything. 🥵

[Lovie777]

3. The 6 GQP justices are privileged .....

they don't give a shit about us, just like the GQP congress critters and red states run by them.

[durablend]

4. Those Republicans are just mad

It doesn't tilt even FURTHER to the right.

[BlueCheeseAgain]

5. You're probably right about that.

[Lovie777]

7. Yes it does ....

[BradAllison]

15. "Why won't they repeal Brown vs Board of Education??!!"

Socialist Commie libs!!!

[Aroundabout23]

21. It is coming.

[DFW]

6. Thomas, Alito and the Trump Trio

At this point, the other four are just there for show, for all it matters.

Just don't let's let them say they are not "political." That lie alone gets them more pinocchios that there are stars in the galaxy.

8. GOP packed far right nut jobs.

Ty Mitch McConnell you ass hole!

[llmart]

9. They've got a job for life.

Do you really think they care about us lowly peons' opinion of them? They're laughing all the way to the bank.

[edhopper]

10. To bad too many of the 75%

can't add 2 and 2 and realize their vote for Trump did this.

[Fullduplexxx]

11. Thing is they no longer care

[uponit7771]

17. +1, don't think they cared in the first place time for 3 more that will care,

[patphil]

12. Morally depraved; spiritually bankrupt.

Six partisan hacks who don't care about the people of the United States, only about the power they can wield for the Republican party.

[uponit7771]

16. WHOA !! That's ... uh ... yeah, that's pretty damn low no matter how that's swung.

[Cha]

18. Too bad We Can't Do Something

About IT!

19. The Gallup data show a high of 56% confidence in the mid-1980s.

It was in the 40%s in the 1970s.

20. If only Hillary had warned us that we needed to consider SCOTUS when voting in 2016...

BUT HER EMAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EndlessWire]

23. Well, no shit, Sherlock!

Take a poll next week, when the enormity of this bad decision will sink in. See if it goes down to 0 confidence!

The Court belongs to us. Since they are now RW biased, we need to revamp. The only way to go is to expand the Court to counteract the Trumpian SC. Otherwise, get rid of these lifetime clowns by impeachment.

[dalton99a]

24. The Trump Court is illegitimate and deserves no respect.

[hatrack]

25. And that was before today's ruling made it official . . .

Looking for approval ratings in the low teens before the end of the summer.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

26. I'm sure it's even lower after today

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

27. They should stop wearing BLACK robes,

and switch to RED and BLUE. That way we'll always know how they will vote, despite their words.
