Worries over US Supreme Court stability
The U.S. Supreme Court is facing a decline in public trust due to controversial decisions and ethical leaks, amid rising extremist rhetoric and political pressure, especially from former President Donald Trump. The justices, including Samuel Alito, have expressed concern about the deteriorating image of the judicial institution and the threat to its credibility, as polls show that public support for the court has fallen to its lowest level since measurements began in 1972, with approval ratings dropping to around 34%. Criticism has also increased regarding the court’s politicization and reports of some justices receiving gifts and luxury trips, raising questions about ethical standards. Decisions such as the overturning of the right to abortion have sparked widespread controversy and mounting pressure on the justices.
