Americans are divided on major issues that the U.S. Supreme Court is due to rule on in the coming weeks, but most agree on one thing - neither Republicans nor Democrats see the nation’s top judicial body as politically neutral, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Just 20% of respondents to the poll agreed that the Supreme Court is politically neutral while 58% disagreed and the rest either said they did not know or did not respond. Among people who described themselves as Democrats, only 10% agreed it was politically neutral and 74% disagreed, while among Republicans 29% agreed and 54% disagreed.

    I love how anyone needed a poll for this.

    A new poll indicates breathing may be very popular.

      “Well I wanna hear what FOX News says first before I make up my mind about breathing…”

      If you polled people on breathing you’d find 67 to 70% of people in favor of it and 30 to 33% claiming it isn’t American enough because too many foreigners are doing it.

        6th grade me thought the Supreme Court was the coolest branch of government. Objective, wise, and infallible.

        We’re all just people I guess

          Every now and then I think, “this is the perfect job for a computer some day.” Can’t be bribed. Can’t be threatened.

          But, we keep seeing that algorithms and such are biased based on who makes it and/or the training data used. So, IDK. Nothing’s perfect.
