Can Americans' trust in the Supreme Court be restored?

Рет қаралды 60,800

Күн бұрын

Polls show Americans' trust in the Supreme Court has never been lower, especially in light of ethical lapses that lead observers to question the impartiality of justices. Correspondent David Pogue talks with experts who explain why initiatives at the nation's highest court -- from a code of ethics to term limits to the nuclear option of impeachment -- are unlikely to restore respect and trust in SCOTUS any time soon.

Perhaps you don’t know what the word means. Perhaps you intend ‘partisan’. the courts were also always partisan. But the nomination of justices was not hyper-partisan until the 1980s with the Bork nomination, where the Democrats broke tradition by stonewalling Bork, humiliating him, and doing everything in their power to block him.

So if about half the Supreme Court justices are conservative, that would be representative.

Even before this current version of the Court came into existence, there were questions. One of the classics being: Question. Is capital punishment constitutional according to the 8th Amendment? For the longest time, the answer was "yes". Then, some iteration of SCOTUS comes along and says "no". Wait a couple decades and ANOTHER version comes along and says "the previous decision was wrong; it is okay and always was". But the law itself didn't change! How is this possible?

Many of the decisions they're making can be rectified with legislation, so a nice majority in Congress could fix a lot of it, but that won't bring back trust in the court. It might nullify its influence though.

@rogergeyer9851 9 күн бұрын

My faith in the US court system dissolved during the whole Bush V. Gore fiasco. Not because of the end result. But because EVERY SINGLE COURT up the chain went with their POLITICAL beliefs, NOT seriously following the law. And it's more and more obvious over time how VERY political the courts are, DESPITE the whole POINT that they are NOT supposed to be about politics, but about the law, including precedent. I was proud to be an American and proud of the US until about 1990, but things have just steadily declined over the ensuing decades, re the behavior, and often criminality, of the US government (of which the courts are a part) system. It SHOULD be beyond approach -- it's more like a growing crime wave, re the trend.
