The US Supreme Court may be the highest court in the land, but that doesn't mean it isn't susceptible to ideological leanings. In the wake of two historic rulings on the ACA and gay marriage, a small plurality of Americans believe that the Supreme Court tilts a little to the left.
Wow. I feel this reveals the public's tendency to overvalue the significance of recent events compared to even those of just a few years prior. In the view of many experts, this Court may be the most conservative since the 1930s. A New York Times article referenced the Martin-Quinn Score measurement system, which presents strong evidence of just that.
Agree AJ. A few decisions leaning left (if you can even call following majority views and historical trends leaning left) do not outweigh the last 15 years of conservative judgements. However, Fox News can outweigh knowledge, common sense, human decency, and many other ideals and human traits.
Very true, well said.
