Americans increasingly see SCOTUS as too conservative

The share of Americans who say the Supreme Court is too conservative is hitting a new high, as the justices wade into a myriad of Trump administration legal disputes. Forty-three percent of US adults say as much, according to new polling from Gallup. Independents and Democrats have mostly driven the increase, which is consistent with a trend that began following Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation, solidifying the court's 6-3 conservative majority.

More: The institution is increasingly polarizing: Forty-two percent of Americans approve of the job the high court is doing, and there's a massive 65-point gap in its approval rate between Republicans and Democrats. The percentage of Americans who say they have at least a fair amount of confidence in the federal judiciary is also at a near-record low of 49%.

I see them as being corrupt, for the most part.

And a bunch of sniveling cowards, for the most part.

Too Conservative ?

Exactly what are they "Conserving".

Not the rule of law, that's for sure.

The Court that ruled that the President can legally order extrajudicial murders of whoever he wants dead is too conservative?
