Support for Trump's Supreme Court Plummets. Recent Decisions have Undermined Respect for the Court
This is now Donald Trump's Supreme Court and Americans understand that it has a specific and very conservative ideological agenda. And, the vast majority of Americans don't seem to like it very much. A new Marquette Law School Poll found that approval of the U.S. Supreme Court has fallen to 38%, while 61% disapprove of how the Court is doing its job. By contrast, less than two years ago, in September of 2020, approval of the Court stood at 66% with 33% disapproval. The Marque

Justice Thomas's Concealed Carry Gun Ruling is a Judicial Train Wreck
Justice Thomas's majority opinion in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen will be remembered as one of the most poorly reasoned opinions ever handed down by the Supreme Court.

Overturning Roe is Just the Beginning; the Coming Abortion Wars Will Tear America Apart
