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.

Approval ratings mean nothing to lifetime appointments. Nobody should hold a position forever. If they wanna keep them there for life, then at least make them subject to review every X years
Theres only one way to end a lifetime appointment, so they should worry if it gets too low.
Oui
You can impeach them or imprison them too. They only hold their position "in good behavior".
Given that Thomas is clearly accepting bribes and his wife is using him to further a coup, I think we can safely assume that means nothing, other than a future weapon against a liberal justice.
If you get one in prison then I'm pretty sure they'll get kicked out. Now we just need a Congress with the balls to spend 5 pages defining bribery so the justices can't wiggle out of it.
How do imprison someone who has the money, connections, and legal knowledge to appeal the case all the way up to themselves.
Duct tape? And a hammer?
As is the solution to all problems.
That would be the end of SCOTUS if they let him sit on his own appeal.
I wonder what the plantation owners approval ratings were like. We should conduct a study.
3/5ths of people disapproved
My wife and I love each other endlessly and agreed to the whole "until death" thing, but we both hold a firm belief that marriage contracts should have an expiration date at which point the couple can step back and evaluate if they want to continue this union. If not, marriage dissolved, bye.
I hear people say that X isn't marriage, but I say that nothing should be marriage and EVERYTHING should have a planned expiration date. Except light bulbs, batteries, and puppies.
Kittens, too. Really all baby animals. And most baby humans (also animals, I know. Settle down, Internet).
I don't see the rabble of the internet coming out in their usual droves to insult you for the babies/animals quip, so I'll do it for you!
What the fuck, you donkey!? Don't you understand how is babby formed??? It happens when girl get pragnent!!!
Appreciate it. I was worried the Internet would let me down, there! Glad someone’s carrying the banner!
We really need to get these guys out of the office. Why are we caring about impeaching presidents, we need to keep a close eye, catch them doing illegal shit and impeach the supreme court justices. Obviously hold off until the US has a president that can appoint good, fair judges - I don't believe Trump is capable of that, and Biden is at best borderline capable.
There is supposed to be a separation between the 3 governmental branches within the US. Unfortunately, that’s just not reality. Judges should be elected to terms by the people. We are meant to have a government of the people, by the people, for the people. We the people, are the most important pieces of this equation.
We the people, need to push our agenda on the government instead of the government pushing itself on us.
I’m not talking about any sovereign citizen craziness. I’m just saying it’s 2024, I can pay for my groceries with my cellphone why can’t I chose how my tax dollars are spent?!
I think we're too stupid to put the hands in such concentrated power. But it may work better if every election we have like 2 judge seats that go into a lower court and then you just cycle them through the Supreme Court on rotation. That way it's harder to bribe a judge and easier to cut them lose if needed.
It surely does mean something. They don't have an army to enforce their rulings. They also can get a whole bunch of new judges in. Finally, if a prosecutor gets their shit together they could end up in prison for bribery. And while they can define bribery however they want, see point one.
