Leftists, Republicans and free thinkers have no less than one thing they can concur on: Nobody is especially content with the Supreme Court.
Americans’ endorsement of the country’s most noteworthy court dunked to its absolute bottom in four years in a Gallup survey Wednesday, falling underneath half interestingly since 2017. 49% supported the work the judges are doing, down from 58% per year prior.
