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.
It’s just shocking, shocking I tell you, that this court, of whom the majority of justices were appointed by presidents who did not win the popular vote, but rather by ideological zealots, would be a disappointment to the majority of the population who had no say on their appointment.
Shocking.
