[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Confidence in the Supreme Court sank to its lowest point in at least 50 years in 2022 in the wake of the Dobbs decision that led to state bans and other restrictions on abortion, a major trends survey shows. The divide between Democrats and Republicans over support for abortion rights also was the largest ever in 2022, according to the General Social Survey. The long-running and widely respected survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago has been measuring confidence in the court since 1973, the same year that Roe v. Wade legalized abortion nationwide. In the 2022 survey, just 18% of Americans said they have a great deal of confidence in the court, down from 26% in 2021, and 36% said they had hardly any, up from 21%. Another 46% said they have “only some” confidence in the most recent survey.[/quote]

84% of the people no little confidence in the court. I just do not think people will continue to abide by the fiat of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court does not have the authority to rule this country. [/quote]

The Supreme Court does not rule the country.  They are the court of last resort on weigh in on the constitutionality of laws based on specific cases brought before them.

The 84% with little or no confidence is due to a fundamental lack of understanding of how a constitutional republic functions. That is what spells trouble for America in the year's ahead, not the 9 justices on the court.[/quote]

The court makes laws with its rulings. This is a result of a small group of rich, racist, extremely religious and wealthy men. Through the federalist society they have taken over the court system and control the courts. When the court picks a case it has predetermined the out come. The conservatives justices coordinate, hold planning sessions and develop strategies to fundamentally change the laws in this country.

SCOTUS is its current iteration is extra constitutional. It is a vestige of royal power accountable to no one but the leadership of the federalist society.

This is why the court will not survive. The longer it is propped up and protected in its current form, the more drastic the reform of the court will be. The US has a revolution every election cycle. The court is the opposite of this. SCOTUS is anachronism and needs to be modernized with accountability. I can not wait to see the rotten corruption Supreme Court collapse under it own weight.

Really, "a small group of rich, racist, extremely religious and wealthy men", [b]actually 5 men and 4 women[/b]. "SCOTUS is its current iteration is extra constitutional", were they not all nominated by a sitting President and confirmed by the Senate?  Remember not every nominee makes it to the Court.  "The court is the opposite of this. SCOTUS is anachronism and needs to be modernized with accountability",

Laws are written in Congress.  If you want a nation-wide law on abortion, for or against lobby your elected representatives to write one.  Get it through Congress and signed by the President. If you want to change the second amendment, again follow the process. Repeal or alter the 2nd amendment get 2/3 of the states to agree and the Court then rules based on the revised Constitution.

It is how a Constitutional Republic works.[/quote]
