For press, Supreme Court is in ‘crisis’ because it agrees with most Americans
NY Post ^ | July 2, 2023 | Post Editorial Board

Did you hear? There’s a “crisis” in the courts. Unelected justices are pushing a conservative agenda and “making up” law as they . . . make decisions with which most Americans agree.

An ABC News/Ipsos poll taken after the most recent Supreme Court rulings found that 52% agree with the court’s striking down of affirmative action.

Only 32% disagree, with 16% saying they don’t know.

On the question of President Biden’s massive giveaway on student loans, the public is more polarized — yet more people than not agree with the court shooting it down, 45% to 40%.

Biden’s reaction? “This is not a normal court,” he huffed, and the liberal press was right there with him. An “extreme majority.” “Out of step” with most Americas.

They aren’t. They’re just out of step with The New York Times.

But rather than just saying they disagree, progressives push the idea that the Court is “illegitimate.” Donald Trump is out of office guys. Who is pursuing an “unprecedented assault” on America’s institutions now, as you so often argue?

New York magazine ran a commentary this weekend claiming that the Court was in “the new age of the made-up doctrine.”

“For press, Supreme Court is in ‘crisis’ because it agrees with most Americans”

Almost a Babylon Bee quality headline.

Anything or anybody who disagrees with The Party's media represents a crisis.

Everyone rises for a judge but not for a news reporter.

“make decisions with which most Americans agree”

That has nothing to do with it-

It’s not popularity contest. The plain text of the Constitution rules. There is a mechanism to change it if required or desired. We’ve done it quite a few times already.

Amend the Constitution to read, “We Prog/Left/Dem/Socialist/Fascists can discriminate against anyone we want”. Then it would be “legal”.

The so called crisis is caused by the Justices that learned English (most anyway) and interpreted the Constitution using that methodology.

The hysteria is ridiculous. You can’t favor one race over another

Court rules against discrimination... Press disagrees. Thinks discrimination is a good thing.

I feel like the only court in touch with America is the Supreme Court. It’s all the retarded Feral bozos in black robes (most are friggin’ refugees) in the other so called Feral Courts who are the real azhos that hate Americans and America. Just my opinion.

Where are all the demonstrations?

The steps of the Supreme Court are empty.

God bless us all.

They loved Earl Warren while the public hated him.

The press is in crisis, not the Supreme Court.

“It’s not popularity contest. The plain text of the Constitution rules.”

Came here to say this.

Right. Even if 90% of the public and all the justices themselves personally disagreed, an honest Court would still follow the Constitution.
