Gallup: Americans’ Trust in Courts Sinks To Record Low After Controversial Rulings
MRC TV ^ | September 18, 2015 | Brittany M. Hughes

Based on numerous polls and countless surveys, we already knew Americans didn’t trust Congress or the Executive Branch—but now, it looks like they don’t trust the courts, either.

A new Gallup poll released Friday shows only 53 percent of Americans say they have a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in the United States’ judicial system, a record low since Gallup first began measuring government trust in 1997. Conversely, about half (47%) of all Americans think the courts can’t be trusted. …

Need a recall button on Judges if they do not follow the Constitution.

When they twist themselves into pretzels trying to justify rulings that defy logic, should we trust them?

"Need a recall button on Judges if they do not follow the Constitution."

We've got one but Congress has it. We've got to recall Congress to be able to use it.

Absolutely! Too many crazy decisions by judges determined to control every aspect of our lives.

Wait just a minute. There was a poll that came out yesterday claiming that the majority of Americans were livid with the Kentucky clerk and wanted her imprisoned for disobeying the court’s orders.

Our institutions no longer serve their designed purposes.

Doesn’t this and so much more speak to the need for an Article V state amendments convention?

Let’s deal with the problem instead of sticking our heads in the sand in the hope that voting every two years can possibly reverse the tyranny.

Yup.

We’ve been told that there’s overwhelming public support for the Courts’ recent culture wars rulings.

Now we’re told that public confidence in the Courts has collapsed.

Both of those can’t be true.

Right, you have people who decided they would do what they think is right instead of just.
Follow the laws, not a thirst to follow the culture or to be popular.

We have a Pope wanting to be popular now in the Catholic Church and it is ruining the Church in similar ways IMO.

Our judges have made a mockery of our Constitution and Court system, our congress has become corrupt and bought with a price and our presidency has become a joke, a humiliation world wide and a danger to America. We have a lot of work to do ridding ourselves of all the greed, treachery and incompetence in every part of our government.
