Majority of Democrats and young voters want to see the Supreme Court abolished, poll finds
2022-07-15
[BizPakReview] A majority of Democrat voters say the Supreme Court should be abolished for its racist and misogynistic practices, according to a recent poll commissioned by the Heartland Institute.

In addition, 54 percent of young people aged 19 to 39 concur, regardless of their political association.
In other words, the people least likely to vote, but mostly to have strong opinions about that which they know nothing?
The survey of 1,025 U.S. voters was divided among party lines, with 53 percent of Democrats in favor of abolishing the current Supreme Court and replacing it with a "new, democratically elected . . . court with justices chosen by the American people directly," and 33 percent "strongly" in favor. Only 21 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of independents favored the ill-advised proposition.
We see thereby which portion of the population has absolutely no idea how the Constitution was designed to throw up huge barriers to that kind of thing happening.

#10  What we need is a return of the 'question authority' that ran around in the 60/70s. Kids need to rebel, not just become cogs in the machine at a young age, it's unnatural.

#9  ...Sigh....and had the decisions gone the other way, we'd be hearing non-stop about how wise and good SCOTUS was.

#8  Luckily the founders isolated the court from public opinion. They suspected that we might one day mostly be idiots.

#7  They want unopposed power. The Supreme Court and the constitution does not grant them that.

#3  A whopping 67 percent of Democrat voters argue the Supreme Court is a “fundamentally sexist institution that favors men over women,” while only 18 percent of Republicans and 36 percent of independents share that opinion.

On the issue of race, 56 percent of Democrats believe the court is “a fundamentally racist institution” compared to only 14 percent of Republicans, 29 percent of independents and 34 percent of total voters.

On the ridiculous posited notion that the United Nations should be allowed to overrule the U.S. Supreme Court if it finds a decision to be violative of human rights, only 47 percent of Democrats opposed the idea, with 39 percent in favor and 11 percent undecided.

Republicans were decidedly against the fantasy proposal of UN oversight at 77 percent with 17 percent in favor of it. Thirty-seven percent of total voters agreed, but young voters aged 19 to 39 were 48 percent in favor, a number that decreased significantly with age. Only 27 percent of those aged 40 to 64 thought UN oversight was a realistic idea, down to nine percent of those aged over 64.
