The approval rating of the nation’s highest court stands at 40 per cent, according to a new poll
The Supreme Court’s approval rating has plunged to one of its lowest levels yet ahead of a ruling on Donald Trump’s eligibility to run for president.
The approval rating of the nation’s highest court stands at 40 per cent, according to the latest poll released by Marquette Law School on Wednesday.
The latest numbers rival only those of July 2022, when only 38 per cent of US adults said they approved of the Supreme Court and 61 per cent disapproved – just after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.
Biden et al should have packed the court when they had the chance.
Can’t say I disagree. When you fight a cheater by playing 100% by the rules in a world where cheating isn’t punished, you lose every time. This pretty much sums up the last 40 years of the Democratic party.
Don’t forget the idiocy of playing as center-right as possible by running the most milquetoast candidates possible. Every time. Still, actually.
Packing the court isn’t even against the rules. There’s no set cap for justices.
and it has been done before. 9 wasn’t the original number of justices, it’s changed
Couldn’t have said it better myself 👏
Yes, one starts to wonder after 40 years of it’s not by design. How much does it cost to get a politician not to do something i wonder? Probably pretty cheap since hey, how would you prove it when nothing happened?
I know I’m just talking shit but i kinda get the feeling after watching them fail for decades that maybe they aren’t the hapless helpless rule of law guys they’d prefer we thought them as. Which is more likely? It just doesn’t pass the smell test
Didn’t quite take me 40 years but I agree with your point.
Well, let’s reelect him and see what happens. I don’t think he’ll do it but I’d think it’s more likely when he isn’t worried about Trump winning if the move turns out to be more unpopular than expected.
surely we could find somebody more capable.
Jeff Jackson of NC but the Republicans were able to gerrymander his district so that he had very little chance of winning a second term in the US House. He’s not quite ready for primetime but watch for him in 10 years or so.
AoC, Bernie. Pelosi (though her husband’s stock trading is a little too… suspicious.) even Michelle Obama might be better.
AoC folded many times for stupid things when Nancy Pelosi wanted it (crocodile tears were shed).
Bernie hasn’t called what is happening in Gaza a genocide- would continue supporting it like Biden more than likely.
Michele Obama is an unknown but is tainted by Barack Obama’s legacy (drone strikes) and anti-constitutional moves.
Now, could they energize Democrats? Possibly.
