Now this is a more honest solution with an existing constitutional basis, though picking what cases to divest jurisdiction of would be an interesting exercise. For example, I'd think that, say, abortion providers, would very much want federal jurisdiction to challenge state laws.
Looking at the Gallup poll the numbers shake out like this
'
Great deal of confidence 11%
Quite a lot of confidence 14%
Some confidence 43%
Very little confidence 30%
No confidence 1%
No opinion 1
Kind of puts a different spin on it if you include the bolded....
By contrast....Gallup presidential polling goes like this
June 22
Approve 41%
Disapprove 57%
No Opinion 3%
Presidential Approval Ratings -- Joe Biden
Do you approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden is handling his job as president?news.gallup.com
Really can't compare Biden's polling with the Supreme Court as the questions aren't even the same....
I read this and I see a guy who would have supported King George III over the rabble in the streets.
Exactly, i will be casting my votes for my granddaughters and 2 great granddaughters in 22 and 24, that they have the same choices their mothers did.
There are dozens of other issues at risk due to this ruling. It isn't a single issue. Right to Privacy is a BFD and this court just threw it out.
Actually, they undid legislation from the bench with Roe V Wade. The 2A ruling this week was also totally within reasonable interpretation of the constitution.
That means you liked the 2A ruling. It was just as much legislating from the bench as Roe.
It wasn't though, it was a fair interpretation of the constitution, and it superceded state law. I couldn't care less about the 2A decision actually. As far as I'm concerned it isn't all bad to make people give a reason they need a gun. That could be admissible in court should the gun owner prove irresponsible.
It was entirely dependent on a line of 2nd and 14th Amendment jurisprudence developed in the last fifteen years.
If you say so. Lol.Looking at the Gallup poll the numbers shake out like this

And if their mothers had made that choice you wouldn't have 2 granddaughters. We all started the same way.
You are going to be in the future. The idea of a court giving itself a power that was not given to it in the constitution and unchecked by the other branches is, frankly, pretty absurd, and can only last while it aligns with the majority of the country.
Thought it was a little misleading to leave the answer that got the most responses out of the write up in the linked article. Wouldn’t have seen it if I didn’t look at the source document.
Get it. However, some confidence is a very poor number. 43% with just some. That is a sad state in American govt.
OP tried to compare two things with different scales. His conclusion was way off.
I don't get your point at all. Is the goal for "consistency" or is the goal justice? Having a random court helps to eliminate cases that are advanced because of a strong bias of the court, as we have now. It helps to isolate the Justices who are influenced by political advocacy. It brings more fairness to the court and, with the age limits, renewed legitimacy.
