Americans have long viewed the Supreme Court as more trustworthy and less nakedly political than other parts of the government. Or at least Americans used to feel that way. |
In 2002, 50 percent of adults said that they had a lot of confidence in the court, according to Gallup’s annual polls on major institutions. Last year, in the most recent version of the poll, only 25 percent gave that answer. Other institutions have also become less trusted over the past two decades, but the court’s decline has been especially acute. |
The Supreme Court is now less trusted than organized religion, organized labor or public schools... ================================================================== I think we should swap Thomas for Anita Hill. At least I believe her story about Thomas being a lech. |
