I worry about the IQ and ability to detect BS of the average US voter.
” not surprisingly, political leaning of the respondents played a major role.”
But, butt, butt, Traitor Roberts proclaimed that there are no Bronco Bama Judges.
“. . . what’s best for the U.S.” isn’t a meaningful question. The proper question would include some mention of the Constitution. But as another commented noted, the American people are no longer capable of rational, adult thought.
Okay, the job of the SCOTUS is not actually to try to “make decisions in the best interests of the United States.” Those tasks more properly belong to the legislative and executive branches. The SCOTUS and all inferior courts are tasked with enforcing the Constitution and other relevant laws as they exist without trying to making a value judgment about what is a good or bad thing for the country.
This isn’t a popularity contest or an awards competition as in show business.
The judges below the SCOTUS do not care——at all-—what anyone thinks outside themselves. The SCOTUS can make any decision to ruin anyone’s life and not look back.
I personally think Barrett and others should not be allowed to write books and go on book tours. They should be forced to give that up because it taints their already weak gravitas.
The judges take away all of our rights-—we should take theirs.
Roberts is a true disappointment.
“Roberts is a true disappointment.”

Absolutely.
But the question that needs to be asked, is do we the people, believe the USSC will apply the CONSTITUTION to whatever issue is at hand, and nothing else? That should be the standard.
“....it taints their already weak gravitas.”
Doesn’t the Wide Latina still carry around a fair amount of gravitas?
“The judges take away all of our rights-—we should take theirs.”
Certainly the lower courts need to be heavily reined in.
SCOTUS seems to self direct to carry a pretty light load in these days of Elias Lawfare.
Maybe SCOTUS needs to be expanded by Trump to assist in getting on with this workload?
their job isn’t to do what is best for the American people, their job is to interpret the Constitution.
You have the correct question...
Congress are yugely derelict in the performance of their dootys and are currently incapable of handling Tariffs and Customs Duties.
So what is Constitutional and what is in the best interests of the USA can easily be at odds.
Conservatives just do not poll. Hence the reason for the media to tout polling so often.
However, the SCOTUS interprets the US Constitution. It appears those polled, over 80% liberal, are not too happy with the US Constitution.
Liberals hate rules.
Good post. I have to try harder to rein in my bitterness at the courts and judicial system. I have a personal reason for a grudge as I may someday discuss in a bio here.
Well lets see how they handle the birthright citizenship issue. If they can’t properly interpret the 14th amendment we’re in serious trouble.
Let me just stipulate that I have been to Court a few times.
I largely found that the Legal System rarely provides more Justice for you than you choose to afford.
“...in a bio...”
I would hope that such would not be part of an Opus.....
Thanks.

After ObamaCare and the 2020 election???
Please.
I used to hold onto a magazine cartoon of a man with his back to the viewer, facing a judge at the bench:
“And since you have been found not guilty, I am going to let you off with a warning.”
Lawyer to Client: The evidence shows we have a good case you are innocent. How much justice can you afford?
