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.
I hate that the rule of law is being eroded and vanishing before my eyes by these people, like Abbott and similar ilk, but…it is hard to yourself stick to the rule of law, when the other will not. It almost becomes meaningless, ink on a piece of paper and nothing more.
I cannot think of good alternatives, when things reach that stage. I just hope we still have a way to turn back from all of this. I want to believe the train tracks we’re on still fork off in a different direction, somewhere along the line before we slam into the wall at 80MPH.
The eradication of the rule of law is one of the most dangerous things I think a modern society can have happen. I have ideas about where that goes, and it’s some pretty fucking dark places I’d rather we as a nation would not.
