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.

    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.
