The American public no longer believes the Supreme Court is impartial

Never in recent history, perhaps, have so many Americans viewed the Supreme Court as fundamentally partisan.

 

Public approval of the nine-justice panel stands near historic lows. Declining faith in the institution seems rooted in a growing concern that the high court is deciding cases on politics, rather than law. In one recent poll, a majority of Americans opined that Supreme Court justices let partisan views influence major rulings.
