WASHINGTON (AP) — A solid majority of Americans say Supreme Court justices are more likely to be guided by their own ideology rather than serving as neutral arbiters of government authority, a new poll finds, as the high court is poised to rule on major cases involving former President Donald Trump and other divisive issues.

The survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 7 in 10 Americans think the high court’s justices are more influenced by ideology, while only about 3 in 10 U.S. adults think the justices are more likely to provide an independent check on other branches of government by being fair and impartial.

I truly hope the decision released on Monday is not that Trump is beyond prosecution. Would be end of our democracy.

We need to be like the UK:

"The UKSC can decide that certain legislation is incompatible with the Human Rights Act 1998, or the European Convention of Human Rights. The UKSC does not in itself ‘strike down’ the legislation in question, but leaves it for Parliament to decide what to do about resolving the incompatibility.
