Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of reforming the Supreme Court along lines proposed by President Joe Biden, even as approval for the high court is marked by a sharp political divide, according to a new USA TODAY-Ipsos election year poll.

A large majority – 76% of Americans – support a binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court, according to the poll.

    I find this part pretty telling:

    …63%, supported enacting an 18-year term limit for Supreme Court justices – who enjoy lifetime appointments – with a bare 51% of Republicans in favor along with 61% of independents and a whopping 83% of Democrats.

    But then:

    Some 58% of Republicans considered Biden’s long-shot proposal to impose term limits and enact a binding code of conduct on the high court a “major threat to democracy,” compared with 26% of independents and just 10% of Democrats.

    So basically most Republicans are like “yeah we need term limits… Wait, Biden wants term limits? Fuck that!”

        Same folks that praised Trump for Operation Warp Speed then became anti-vaxxers once Biden won the election. These dumb fucks will literally kill themselves just to spite Democrats.

          If they would do it faster without taking everyone else down with them, I wouldn’t be too upset.
