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.

    Of course you need Senate confirmations, before Trump elects some billionaire, Fox host or family member to the Supreme Court

      Yes. But under this plan, they would be obligated to hold them.

      Rejection is a valid response, but freezing them out so your guy can appoint a corrupt bastard is not.
