right now not very good - way too conservative and too connected with the last administration, also compromised by Judge Thomas's wife's actions
Slipping, leaning too far right and under influence
The Supreme Court is ruining its reputation by involvement in medical and personal choice issues. It is the courts job to rule on things to keep our citizens safe. They have no business messing with personal medical issues
They are swayed by popular opinion instead of rule of law.
On a downward spiral of Judicial Activism.
Better than other governmental offices like Congress and the Presidency, but damaged after the Dobbs leak.
Since the Dobbs decision reversing Roe the Court is a bunch of Taliban religious activists.
They uphold a very high and respectful position
I think the court has been threatened and has caused its rulings to be tainted by fear. The fact that the decision on overturning Roe v Wade was leaked shows that radical people have infiltrated the court.
It is horrid. Some members need to removed. They do not recuse themselves when they have conflicts. I do not believe they can make decisions fairly:
that if anybody can get it right, they should be able to.
it has fallen due to the trump presidency, but i remain hopeful that the rule of law will continue to be upheld.
It used to be the most sacred, unassailable branch of the government, but since Trump's election, it too has become a a perversion.
tarnished by false allegations and inability to secure the privacy of their drafts, etc . New justice Brown was also a poor choice and likely unfit given her inability to define a woman
affirmative action (original U of California case)
It has in the past had a great reputation but it's recent actions have tarnished that reputation
Rightfully perceived as illegitimate and unrepresentative of the people due to judges being disproportionately appointed by presidents that have lost the popular vote for 2 decades
SCOTUS has a better reputation than any other legislative branch
I would have to say that the reputation of the Supreme Court can vary from party to party, as well as from person to person. Any decision they make is going to be cheered by some and hated by others.
Leans heavily conservative Republican with tendency to favor evangelical Protestant religion. Clearly justices have not been truthful in their confirmation hearings. Overturning Row v Wade was contrary to what justices claimed their beliefs were regarding precedent and Roe.
Flynt/Hustler Magazine v. Falwell/Moral Majority
As of now, the reputation of the Supreme Court is in utter shambles. The court is supposed to be above the fray of politics, but incompetent and “bought-and-paid-for” justices like Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch have corrupted and warped the purpose of the court to suit their own personal and political agendas. The Court needs more justices like John Roberts, and previous Justices Breyer, O’Connor, Souter and Kennedy, who always put country first.
The court is losing respect due to ongoing conservative votes, corrupt Justices, and lack of respect for public interest. They make too many decisions based on religious views. One Justice has a wife involved in the insurrection. They don't even follow precedent. Their reputation is heading for the toilet.
The Supreme Court SHOULD consist of qualified individuals, not based on their politics, race or their sexual orientation but their qualifications and their knowledge. These people should NOT have an agenda or be closely involved with politics at the highest level. Because I believe at the highest level there is too much corruption and what we need are people who can see clearly and not be blocked by such nonsense
It used to be excellent, but now many people are criticizing it for a variety of reasons, both conservative and progressive.
To uphold the laws of our country. To make decisions when those laws are not followed.
It is not always about the law and constitution, it can and has been used for forcing an unpopular ideology held by the majority instead of strictly following the constitution. I usually see the left leaning judges taking things that the states voted on to refuse, overruling them and then forcing compliance to all of the states.
fundamentalist christofacist unqualified majority pushing the court toward christian sharia law
Mixed bag but could be heading to kissing the ass of liberals who want to run the country only on their terms.
I think the SCOTUS is TOTALLY out of touch with the majority of Americans. You have six right activists ruling for a minority white conservative population.
They had a good record until they started over turning stuff.
The reputation of the supreme court is still held high but I doubt after this ex president incriment
the Supreme Court had an earned reputation for voting down any "liberal" (Democratic) ideal. One back scratches the others and although they do their best to appear to be family-minded and "holier than thou", they are often caught exercising the same things they voted down in their own lives. They set a pattern that clearly shows that what the law is to us, although it never applies to them. When caught, a big stink is made and it eventually dies down. The Democrats are held to the fire to take the punishment.
the supreme court is the bridge of democracy and the protector of freedom
I think the Supreme Court is off the tracks. It should be more even handed in its decisions. I think there should be term limits on Supreme Court justices.
Ideological and politicized, very conservative
i believe the SC is out of touch with a vast majority of the population. i also believe some of the members are unethical and too political in their decisions. i do hold hope that the court will "right" itself.
I think sometimes the Supreme Court has a good reputation of doing what is right
The Supreme Court has been manipulated by the Republican Party resulting in a court that is too conservative, greatly diminishing its reputation and prestige.
Citizens united vs federal election commission
Unfortunately they are not held in high esteem for several reasons different on either side of the political spectrum. However I and others don't think much of them bc they should all stay as far away from politics as possible and look to the law not politics or personal opinion for rulings. But everyone one knows who's a conservative and who's a liberal.
Was more reasonable & fair & aligned with the Constitution, but now seems to be leaning towards being a Christian Conservative Court
The Supreme Court has become an arm of the trump camp, appointed by them and owned by them. I think they vote just as trump wants them to under the guise of upholding state rights.
Treasonous bunch everyone knows about Roberts and Amy too
People are ignorant of its role. It only makes decision for D.C. and the territories.
The Supreme Court has a reputation of conservative bias
Several judges were put on the court by politicians with a political agenda. They should be unbiased but several are not. The reputation of the court has suffered because of this.
Social media taking responsibility for people post
The are the ones that has the final judgment
The Supreme Court is one of the most authoritative and influential institutions in the American judicial system. Its reputation stems from its position as the highest court in the land and its role in interpreting the Constitution. Its rulings can affect laws and policies throughout the country. Therefore, the Supreme Court has a special status and authority in American politics and law. Its decisions are considered final and must be complied with by all federal and state courts.
It is the top of courts . I think for FBI
It has been bought out. They don't care about the rights of the American people today, only a few individuals that can line their pockets.
I think the Supreme Court follows the constitution even though its opinions may or may not be popular.
Very suspect of putting politics over legal precedent.
So far positive, sometimes I heard some negative comments
I like to think that the supreme court is honest and knowledgeable, and reacts in a manner that is respectful.
Overstepping the lines. The old white men need to so. They should not be messing with anything that denies women the right to make their own decisions about their own bodies.
Abysmal. They're partisan hacks wearing robes. They generally start with a desired outcome and figure out the logic of how to get there, often violating previously stated views in order to do it.
I don't think it has as good of a reputation as it used to have since they made abortion illegal
EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW, they are meant to uphold equity for everyone regardless of race,gender of anything
The reputation of the SCOTUS has been tarnished by the appointment of inferior jurists and jurists who use a religious litmus test to interpret the law. The SCOTUS has reached into ancient history to impose religious beliefs on the citizens.
Present reputation is that of a moderately conservative court with justices sometimes seeking to make policy rather than simply adjudicating the law.
They are quite reputable, although they have their mistakes too
Considered the highest court in the country, it is the court of last resort for those seeking justice
Regents of the University of California v Bakke
It is apolitical and impervious to leftist nonsense, but only for now.
The conservative majority has overturned long held precedents that has diminished the reputation of the court.
They are commissioned to follow the constitution. They are not overly liberal and try to do their work following the constituion. Right now the Supreme Court is the only sane branch of government.
The Supreme Court today is Conservative and interested in upholding the Constitution. Previous liberal courts have been interested in making laws and policy
It feels like the Supreme Court has become more of a political tool rather than an unbiased source of Constitutional law. With the last few Justices we have seen a hard swing to the right which I think will be detrimental to marginalized communities.
The reputation of the Court is unfairly damaged due to Dobbs. Dobbs upset many people it was the legally correct thing to do. It is the legislatures duty to make abortion federally legally through the constitution, until then that responsibility goes to the states. One thing the Court needs to improve on is its religious and academic diversity. All the justices save one are either Catholic or Jewish while majority of the nation is not. Additionally, all justices save one went to either Harvard or Yale law. There is a lack of intellectual diversity on the court.
In my opinion the Supreme Court has become extreme conservative.
The media has damaged the credibility of the court by implying their decisions are biased or illegitimate because of its conservative makeup, something they wouldn't do if the court had a leftist majority.
Upholding justice and the common interest of the American people
The reputation of the Supreme Court has been upholding progressive moments. However, I worry that it could start to chip away the progress the Court has provided for the American people.
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the nation and they must maintain a very high level.
The reputation of the current Supreme Court is ultra-conservative.
The court should be more involved. And who is a leaker ?
Wilkins v. United States (21-1164)The Quiet Title Act’s 12-year statute of limitations, 28 U. S. C. §2409a
Luna Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools (21-887)
Their responsibility is to make sure that the American rights are being treated equally and fair as well.
I don't trust them at all. I don't trust anyone. The world is just f*cked up.
The members are outstanding members of society.
Mostly fair, but leans right on the big issues..
The reputation of the Supreme Court stands sure
The courts is loosing its reputation for impartiality mostly due to media portrayals of it changing drastically
Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency
National Pork Producers Council v. Ross (21-468)
Marxist Democrats hate the current makeup, and conservatives like it but see Chief Justice Roberts as pandering to the left to secure his legacy.
The Supreme Court enjoys an excellent reputation and commands the trust of the American people.
Shit. Absolute garbage. Full of religious zealots who are destroying everything that is good and decent about America. They are systematically stripping the American people of our constitutional rights and are selectively stripping certain states of their rights to institute laws that are popular with the citizens of those states (NY Gun laws) while also empowering other states to limit the freedoms of certain segments of the population (texas abortion laws). Also, Clarence Thomas has obvious and outrageous conflicts given the active role his wife plays in extreme right wing politics. Also, the revelation of the influence of evangelical groups directly influencing legal policy was infuriating but not surprising. John Roberts is an impotent stooge. And, just for the record, Brett Kavenaugh is a fucking embarrassment and completely unfit to serve. That is their reputation. The 5 right wing justices are so far from being able to adjudicate fairly, it's mind boggling. They are disgusting ideologues.
tarnished after the shenanigans of McConnell to pack the court with three appointees of the historically criminally indicted, twice impeached former president Trump
Dodd Vs. Jackson's Women's Health Organization
They now have the reputation as a reactionary, fascist, right-wing entity that is poised to strip away the rights from those who are not straight, white or male.
In any case where the courts side with far left nonsense, its disturbing to think where our country is heading if we can not count on the supreme court to make commonsense fair rulings. That holds more true for local courts
The Supreme Court has become more politicize. The conservatives hold a 6-3 majority and will steer America to become a more conservative nation despite the majority of Americans being more progressive than the Supreme Court.
The current Supreme Court is an activist court populated by very conservative justices, who are determined to continue the trend in making decisions of questionable judicial jurisprudence. It will be viewed historically as a terrible dark stain on SCOTUS.
The reputation of the SC is low because many of the newest Justices lied during their confirmation hearings and changed how and why they voted against Roe vs Wade once they were on the court. They are more interested in appeasing the Republican Party than they are in the actual content of the Constitution.
They are fair is most rulings and biased in others. Reversing Roe v Wade was very biased.
Motivated by the majority’s political bias.
Relatively balanced. The extremes on either side are neutralized by the Constitutional centrists. Not discovering the source of the leak of the Alito draft damaged its reputation.
Final decisions on the issues that most reflect the United States
I believe that trust in the reputation of the Supreme Court is at an all time low.
It is a highly political body that swings with the present political climate of either extreme.
Makes decently fair rulings most of the time
It has been tarnished from the judges that Trump nominated
I would say that the current Supreme Court has a poor reputation. Many are guilty of breaches of ethics. Several have obvious conflicts of interest. Quite a few are not academically adept enough to perform well as Supreme Court justices, and those same few are ideologically biased and favor the far right.
Dangerously low. A court that repeatedly goes against majority opinion will soon lose its credibility.
the one power that actually uses some common sense
The Supreme Court has a current reputation of being more political than judicial.
It is fine. Just because a bunch of leftist partisan screaming the contrary over and over, does not make it true.
Do not allow it to be packed. It is bad enough that the current administration uses government forces against people that do not agree with them. That is a big reason why some people say that they are independent or no affiliation.
Moore v. Harper (Independent state legislature theory)
I’m going back in a minute I need a little more help
It is a collection of egotistical ideologues.
Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organizaton
As the law of the land, the Supreme Court justices were considered the brightest and most respected legal minds; it was separate and apart from the political arena. But this is no longer true, it has become more political over the past few years and justices have been appointed based upon their political and religious views.
The Supreme Court used to be made up of stodgy, white men. Today the Supreme Court is more inclusive. I think the Supreme Court should not make decisions solely on presidence. They should rule according to the constitution
currently, the reputation is in the gutter.
They're a bunch of out of touch and politically motivated in overturning laws their party personally does not like. They don't truly understand the current landscape nor do they care to become more informed.
Bad. Following one ideology to please a few evangelical Christians.
As long as the Supreme Court is still based on God then they will KNOW what’s right and what’s actually possibly a mental illness or defect just as pedifiles prefer to have sex with kids. Men should NOT be with men cause in biblical times was an abomination and is extremely grotesque to see in person.
I think at this time that the Supreme Court has a good reputation
severely damaged - 2017-2020 confirmed 3 justices were dishonest during their confirmation hearings
Right now we have a Conservative Supreme Court that is TOTALLY out of touch with the American public and seems to come from the last century. They rule based onpolitics and not legal precedent.
Mostly conservative, a few liberals. Thank God!
The USSC has drastically dropped the level of the reality of wrong over right. They have showed a lack of reasoning and acknowledging that the people have the right to govern themselves.
upheld the mandate that most Americans have health insurance
corporations and unions can spend unlimited amounts in election
citizens have a right to posses firearms at home for self-defence
stuck down state laws that prohibited sodomy between consenting adults
no recount of the  2000 presidential election was feasible in a reasonable time period
upheld use of race of many factors in college admission
president cannot use executive privilege to withhold evidence from criminal trial
invalidated state laws prohibiting interracial marrige
prisoners must be advised of their rights before being questioned by police
lawsuits based on libel or defamation must show intent or recklessness
I ask for fairness, when it comes to decisions made by the United States Supreme Court!
I think most people see it as ultra-conservative, but in fairness, I've been surprised that some of their decisions have been more moderate than anticipated.
The Supreme Court does not have a very good reputation in my opinion. I do not agree with a lot of their decisions.
It is a majority of Republicans and very hard to get any laws enacted that are beneficial to the people.
It is now a partisan clown show, ever since Mitch McConnell held up Merrick Garland's nomination. I hope Mitch rots in hell. It is laughable for this court to claim they honor precedence our are non-partisan.
The reputation of the supreme court is great
Mod trusted and respected. Ppl misunderstand the purpose and ability of the court. Used as political pawns by both parties ( more the Dems). One of the greatest achievements of the founding fathers.
At this point in time it’s a so called conservative Court.
The reputation of the supreme Court is good
Not good. Too far right, thanks to the idiot republicans
Normally fair, but appointing a justice based on skin color and gender makes me wonder what will happen in the future.
Worse with the democrats allowing all the wrong doing happen
All in all the reputation of the Court is exemplary
Currently, it is stacked to be conservative which is truly unfortunate. It should be balanced with sound arguments looking for legal precedent. It should stay out of politics. I would say it no longer has a reputation of seeking justice for all.
It’s been highly respected for a long time but in recent years has begun to be seen as too overreaching.
Prior to Trump. the supreme court made liberal laws that the congress could not pass.
Contrary to the Liberal Media, the court is doing its work as it should
Most have been in office for to long I think every parts of the government should be like the president and can only be in office for a certain amount of time then they are done
It's very poor, and doesn't care about the American people
I think Democrats believe there are too many Justices that lean too far to the right, and that we need more who lean more to the left. I know a lot of people are disappointed with some of their recent decisions.
This supreme court was packed with ultra right wing justices and are completely ignoring long legal and court precedent
The new Court has not established a reputation. Most people think it will prove to be very conservative and that Abortion Rights is just the first of many infringements on personal freedom.
Sullied. No longer an arbiter of constitutional law. Right-leaning judges vote their religion, not the constitution. Roberts vote(d) to preserve his court's perceived fairness in future historical assessments.
Currently it is a bias court siding with GOP
The Supreme Court work every day for help to the Country with the law the US.
The Supreme Court is the final say on what the law means.
Generally fair and unbiased, except for some recent decisions (particularly the decision overturning Roe vs Wade).
The reputation of the Supreme Court is garbage, specifically the newly placed Republican justices.
Fair-minded, right leaning with a few odd balls that vote only party.
Currently, I'd say the Supreme Court's standing is 'up in the air'. It's lost a certain amount of credibility with progressives and in general feels like it is moving too far to the right. I don't think our democracy can survive a total return to the old school 'states' rights' philosophy on many/any of the issues presented.
Their duty is to uphold the constitution and not allow their personal leanings to factor into their decisions.
Non biased decisions, generally with the ability to overcome political bias.
Federal Election Commission vs Ted Cruz for Senate, et al.
FDA vs Brown and Williamson Tobacco Company
Overall, the Supreme Court seeks to follow the Constitution and laws of the US. In recent years the ultra conservatives on the court often are trying to create "social norms" for the USA. This is the beginning of a Fascist agenda that certain Republican leaders want for the USA.
This court is the most conservative court in my lifetime. It is not a legitimate court because President Obama nominated Garland and Sen. McConnell refused to have hearings but she RBG died with less time in Trump's administration, McConnell rushed the nomination through.
Regarded with high esteem if you agree with their ruling. Otherwise I think the people who make up the Supreme Court are not positively thought of if you disagree with them.
In the case of the current Court, the reputation is poor.
It depends based on the ever changing political philosophy of the current 9 justices. Democrats and liberal minded voters don't like the current configuration. Republicans and conservative minded voters generally like it's current occupants, but have some reservations, notwitstanding.
Previously, it was one of the most trusted parts of government. I am afraid that image is fading.
It started declining when Roberts supported Obamacare
Conscience of the Constitution and rightly so. That's their Job.
A conservative group who are not in touch with the citizens of the country.
It's reputation now is shit, because they have judges that are rotten, stinking, shit.( Every conservative judge with shitty Thomas leading the pack)
I should think, that after the overturning of Roe V. Wade, and a large majority of Americans refusing to celebrate Independence Day because of it. That their reputation has gone to shit.
Leaning for too much to the right wing political agenda.
All in all the court has done a great job. The times that this has failed have been when an EMOTIONAL majority has been seated. There are appropriate methods to change any and all the laws in America.
A nonpartisan group of Constitutional experts (with some exceptions) that determines whether a law or enforcement of a law is supported or disallowed by the Constitution.
It is apparently a political animal. (At the moment I feel that the animal in question is a swine rather than an Eagle). Regardless of the Chief Justice's wishes it displays quite partison bias. It is a disgrace.
It's the biggest and most important court
Under the circumstances, the Court has done a reasonable job. Of course, the reputation of the Supreme Court and its decisions will vary based on political views.
Generally good and largely apolitical; however, a recent appointment showed incredible ignorance and phenomenal political bias. Her appointment was a stain on the Court!
I didn't know it had a reputation. Honestly, I have no clue at all.
A direct descendent of the Salem Witch Trials, the Inquisition of Spain and Banana Republic corruption. Trying to turn America into a Christian right wig dictatorship.
GOP likes it. Left wing people don't like it. The way it is now.
The media has destroyed the reputation of the Supreme Court based in the number of Trump appointees and the abortion case. The general public thinks they extreme right
Much, MUCH improved since the Trump appointees... the DEM/Libs will finally have to actually legislate in accordance with the "will of the people, versus having "their" Justices "legislate" from the bench... as was the case for about 40 years.
I respect the Supreme Court. I think many of the justices were treated extremely unfairly during their confirmation hearings : Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas. And Bork who was confirmed was also treated extemely unfairly.
The SCOTUS is biased in favor of the conservative issues facing this nation. They do not support legal rulings from the past and are making decisions based on their own political and religious views.
Since leak, now tarnished. It's more political than ever. If the Dems are able to stack it we are done.
Right now it us a partisan corrupt body.
illegitimate, political, dictators especially pertaining to the personal lives of citizens, favors rich and powerful over the good of the entire country.
Conservative and on course to reverse past decisions.
They are putting religion over the constitution
The current Supreme Court is racist, homophobic, supports big business at the expense of average Americans, recent additions to the court lied under oath, it does not represent me or my beliefs
It's a political institution subject to the same external influences as legislators and politicians that interprets the law as such and not with neutrality based solely on precedent and constitutional interpretation
overall I think it's good, but I don't care for the politicalization of the court. The justices should follow the constitution.
Was pretty good but letting politics and public opinion start to get in the way of following the law
Very conservative, old racist Christian’s. Too devoted to religion.
Not very good. There are too many Christians and they tend to rule according to that religion.
The Supreme Court has a fairly good reputation as being the last resort in certain legal cases and also for interpreting the law.
It has suffered since Trump's extreme right-wing appointments.
Not good. There should be a code of ethics for the Court. Justices should be forced to recuse themselves when there is a possible conflict of interest.
Historically, the court has had the reputation of being the body best able to rise above politics to keep the country aligned with the original writing of the Constitution. Today, the court is regarded largely as another political arm of the government that votes along politically left or right ideological lines as each member is predisposed.
It has become politicalized and lost its respect because liberal/progressives do not always get their way.
I don't have much faith in them anymore.
Far better today than it has been is several decades.
I think in general, it is fair and evenly administered. I think that too many biased people try to politicized the court, and in the past, the supreme court has been too anxious to uphold new laws about things that do not exist in the constitution. Their rulings have been stretched in an attempt to add to the constitution, something that should only be done by amendments.
Upright and just, generally do what is ethical and moral for everyone e.
They are very conservative at this time, however that changes depending on the ratio of Democrats to Republicans. Currently very conservative.
Currently very conservative and generally leans towards the right.
a solid court upholding the constitution
The current makeup of the US Supreme Court is definitely very conservative.
Completely partisan and outdated. I'd rather have an AI with a pulse on the people be the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court has become a highly partisan branch of government currently controlled decisively by conservative Republicans. Partisan gridlock in Congress is currently preventing Congress from exercising its appropriate role in the founders' checks and balances scheme to bring the Court back into a less partisan equilibrium.
It has become too political both in how justices get on the court and on the basis of the justices' decisions.
Very poor and politically motivated to reactionary views
now it is really wait a see. The conservatives judges have been come liars
Not good. The Supreme Court should be composed of some of the best legal minds we have. Unfortunately it has become very partisan, leaning conservative and championing states rights.
Pretty good. It needs to be held up to high standards
A body that sometimes gets it right and sometimes gets it wrong. It no longer understands the importance of moderation.
It is just another branch of US Government.
Heavily tilted toward the political Right at this point and viewed as a politically tainted bench.
excellent returning to the states that which is the purview of the states
Reputation for fairness under the law use to be outstanding. Now, not so much.
Because they have chosen to rule against popular opinion, SCOTUS are facing historically low approval ratings and loss of credibility. Further, the controversial Trump administration appointments of hard right justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Comey Barrett have further eroded the court’s appearance of fairness and legitimacy.
It has been damaged by are current admin allowing judges to be abused and stalked. They should be protected. Dems and Reps should not promote ill behavior as it has happened under this dept of justice
Does not adhere to the Constitution as written and intended in 1787. The Constitution gives very limited powers to the federal government, including the 10th Amendment that specifically states powers NOT granted to the federal government are reserved to the states and should be considered null and void if not delineated to the federal government.
The reputation up until recently is of a body that listens fairly to both sides of an issue and rules accordingly. Now they just vote based on their politics which is the last thing they should be doing
Today? Terrible. It has been declining ever since Powell was appointed in 1971 and began to pull the Court to the far right. Even Roberts has lost control over the extremists that Trump and the worthless slime McConnell got on board. So it as divided as the rest of our government when it should be the "wise middle". Much of the American public is getting fed up with its radical right agenda. A proper code of conduct is needed to avoid blatant conflicts of interest, such as has occurred with Thomas, among others.
It is okay but it needs to find and provide a consequence for the leaker.
The Supreme Court has been labeled many things by the left-wing progressives because the rulings have leaned toward conservative values and the law.
With the current make up of the court anything is possible. I can only hope they use the laws and not their wishes when they make descisions
It's still credible, however I think that national politics will still have influence on some of the justices decisions.
It is horrible. They don’t care for precedent
Recently, it has been politically biased.
until recently it was a court for the people
Has moved towards being more politically driven
Prior to Roe Vs Wade being overturned, I thought the supreme court was fine. Now, their reputation is bad
Great Court. Most of the time upheld Constitution and Law
A right wing body that interprets laws to suit there views and one that always will rule in favor on monied interests
recently has returned to federalist principals
Right now, it's garbage. SCOTUS is at the mercy of a several utterly corrupt conservative members. Roberts has proven to be completely inept. Thomas should be forced to recuse on cases his wife has a hand in. All justices should have to follow the same rules of disclosure as other Federal judges, and their spouses/partners should not be able to participate in any activities that influence the court in any way.
What little I've heard of the Supreme Court is some of them don't have the best of reputations. I've heard of some discrimination among each other when a new one is elected. I've wondered why only the president can choose one.
Currently...politically motivated. Changing established precedent. Policy making
It has faded since Roe vs. Wade, however, it appears to be getting back on track. This is why Democrats want to change the makeup of the Supreme Court.
It has swung from liberal to conservative and back again over the decades; therefore one's own beliefs determine their view of the Court. I think the Court is right perhaps 66% of the time.
Very low currently, with several Justices who are there only because they checked off a Box...
Until the last few years it had a very high reputation from all Americans but due to the ravages of trump in the amoral way he operates even those with intelligent differentces of opinion are at each others throats and are dividing the country. First trump rams through ultra religious candidates, now Biden will do the same with liberal candidates.
The Supreme Court is impartial and independent
biased majority with overly conservative views ... many old men with antiquated beliefs not based on intent of constitution.
Michigan University race based admissions
Currently conservative, but sound in its rulings with intelligent analysis.
I feel the reputation of the Supreme Court is contradictory.
Radically to the right of the political spectrum.
Not so good some things are good other things are terrible.
The Supreme Court is charged with ensuring the American people the promise of equal justice under law and, thereby, also functions as guardian and interpreter of the Constitution.
Currently, the Supreme Court is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fascist Republican Party
Very poor reputation. The Supreme Court has members who do not practice true law. Law should be free of partisan affiliations. They should be held accountable for their unlawful decisions based on political party and affiliations with Donald Trump, a liar. The law should must be true and just in our highest court.
Was good, but losing status due to overturning Roe v Wade and ethical/legal problems due to Clarence Thomas’ conflict of interest re:his wife’s political activities
Very Good. Caught today in a very divided country where no matter how they rule a vocal group will get prime time coverage opposing how they voted. Unless that group is conservative in which case they will be ignored.
seems to be leaning conservative and onesided
The reputation of the court has been forever sullied by the appointment of radical, right-wing judges for whom politics holds more sway than the law.
Dishonest, prioritize archaic personal and religious beliefs over the law. Out of touch with society. Taking the country backwards. Generally not good stewards of the law.
The right-wing Supreme Court is a disgrace. Especially fascists like Thomas Gorsuch and Kavanaugh (drunkard). soon they will turn America into Nazi Germany. Can you imagine these bastards banning contraceptives??? Thomas is a despicable Uncle Tom whose wife tried to overturn democracy and the 2020 presidential election. That bitch should be in jail. So should Kavanaugh for rape, Gorsuch was an active Nazi in his college days. Alito took bribes for his vote on overturning Roe v Wade. They are nothing more than a gang of right-wing grifters who want to turn back the clock to 1850. Legalizing slavery is next on their agenda.
New York State Rifle and Pistol associan vs Bruen
The Supreme Court has been undermined by leftist presidents appointing justices based on their political ideology rather than their skill and ability to interpret the Constitution.
Completely partisan and a very poor reputation
Not positive. Cavenogh lied outright and Clarence Thomas should be dismissed also.This most likely won't happen because the whole government including Supreme Court are crooked. For the days of Ruth Ginsburg.
It depends on who you ask but I see it more as a political tool used for partisan bias than anything else.
piss poor when the extremes of both liberal and conservative views are in a majority
An activist collection of mostly Conservative psychopaths
They are human, thus they try to understand the views of other SCJ's. They apply these views to the laws and the Constitution to try to make a just view.
It is conservative in most cases but liberal when it comes to human rights.
Generally, good but the country is very divided not and I assume 30% of people would say poor
Brown Vs The Board of Education of Topeka, KS
Generally, the Court has a reputation for thoughtful, well-reasoned decisions and excellent arguments. A few decisions have been exceptions to that, though, with "arguments" pulled out of a hat, leaving a lot of us scratching our heads, trying to figure out who's got what on the Justices.
Conservative Republican-leaning humans that need more education.
The supreme court has historically represented the highest example of democracy and the American way of life. Sadly, the reputation has been tarnished by the poor choices of the phony president from Kenya and the blithering idiot puppet Bidumb. But, basically, the Supreme Court has had and shall have again the highest reputation.
The supreme Court is the last resort level of justice for the United States of America. this is where top level issues are resolved, or should be. There is much to review from individual state courts, as well as ongoing issues in our nation, but the supreme Court should have an agenda all their own just the same.
Hand picked by the President and should be held up to public voting.
It has a better reputation than Congress in my opinion.
It is a very important institution with strong power and broad influence, and its rulings and opinions have a profound impact on the entire country and the world.
With Biden as president, the supreme court is doing what they can to keep our country okay. Biden and leaders/democrats behind him and ruining the country.
For decades it has leaned too far to the political left.
Up until the Roberts decision on Obama Care, they were respected but it was clear politics played a part in Roberts decision.
At this point in time SCOTUS is a frigging disaster. Thomas and Alioto are worthless and tRump's three appointees are disasters. Roberts is certainly inept at leading. This court has lost any credibility for being unbiased and fair. Either expand the court or figure out a way to get rid of at least 3 duds!
The Supreme Court is shifting back towards its proper role as interpreter of the law, rather than maker of the law. This has caused the reputation of the Court to fall among people who are used to the Court stepping in to grant them wins after they lose in democratic processes, as it did in the mid-20th century.
does a good job sifting thru all the cases.
I don’t know honestly what to put for this.
Use to be blind justice, now it’s a politically biased tool some see as their own personal governing body. I.e stacking court with “liberal” judges to overturn legislative branch
This current Supreme Court is made up of 3 liberal Justices who base their decisions on the Constitution and 6 conservative Justices who base their rulings on the Bible. The conservative Justices are constantly blending the Constitution and the Bible together to fit the agenda of the Christian Nationalist. Our courts MUST be kept secular. Church and state MUST be kept separate. It is time to reform the rules of Supreme Court appointments by changing the number of Justices to 15.
The Supreme court is rogue and religiously crazy. Their rulings have desecrated the trust of the nation, myself included. As a group, many of them boarder on criminal actions with there not for profit organizations that receive donations for favors. The wives and justices engaging in politics events that for money. Term limits and ESPECIALLY oversight board for punishment of the justices needs to be done. They have shown that cant be honest being above the law. It is a shame.... thanks Republican McConnell that illegally sworn in this cast of criminals.
It has decreased as the Court has begun to show conservative bias in its rulings.
In my opinion the reputation of the Supreme Court is a conservative leaning court that is willing to remove year of positive decisions based on their own personal views.
The supreme Court has a great reputation.
I believe the Supreme Court makes wise, informed, intelligent decisions - even though I may not agree with their take on some issues.
They have grown very conservative due to the GOP only allowing appointments from GOP Presidents and blocking Democratic appointments to courts all across the land. They have their own agenda and we need term limits ASAP.
at the moment republicans are happy and democrats aren't
was honorable, not with the current bench it is trying to regress to anti human, anti female, anti individual rights, dictatorship
First, as the highest court in the land, it is the court of last resort for those looking for justice. Second, due to its power of judicial review, it plays an essential role in ensuring that each branch of government recognizes the limits of its own power.
Regents of University of California v. Bakke
Its good reputation has drastically gone down since Trump's appointment of three ultra-conservative justices.
Splintered after someone revealed a controversial decision ahead of time. The intent apparently was to cause the decision to be reversed due to public pressure
An independent judiciary and one of the checks and balances
While Ruth Ginsberg was alive, the court's reputation was stellar. Unfortunately, their reputation has been tarnished by judges not recusing on cases like Clarence Thomas refusing to recuse on a case regarding his radical wife. I no longer trust the Supreme Court's judgement. If they can turn over Roe versus Wade-a 50 year precedent, they will attack any subject with their radicalpartisan ideologies.
Currently, not so good. Principally due to progressive support of abortion on demand.
The court is extremely conservative and should consider cases on the basis of logic rather than conservatism
Try to hear and rule fairly but let politics and popular opinion have some influence.
This Supreme court lost credibility.....Thomas should be removed due to his wife's conservative activism, especially the MAGA movement; three judges have lied during their hearings [regarding abortion]; and the fact McConnell refused to have Pres. Obama nominate Garland during his final year of is presidency declaring there was not enough time to question Garland and et pushed through two candidates just weeks before the end of trump's presidency. Talk about a Court that is not qualified to be given the honor of Supreme Court justices..... pathetic
Not too good right now. For too many years has gone along political party lines. It was formed to interpret the Constitution, not define it by party lines.
The Supreme Courts reputation is falling fast and it poor.
Currently the court is not trusted by many people. The court seems to have thrown out the concept of stare decisis (sp?) and instead make decisions by PRETENDING TO KNOW WHAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS MEANT. People consider the court, as currently constituted, as political rather than objective. AND, the court makeup gets further and further away from being "American" - that is not enough diversity in ethnicity, gender, race, or background.
I would say the supreme courts reputation is extremely tarnished since trump appointed Brett the rapist and Amy "handmaids tale", religious freak in there. Also when Clarence Thomas wife Ginny participated in the jan 6 insurrection activities and Clarence won't recuse himself from cases related to that.
Awful. A tool of the GOP. Causing major damage to human rights issues.
The court has always been a political tool. No court should have lifetime appointments and should have a set of standards.
The Supreme Court is a no-nonsense government body whose decisions weigh heavily on the lives of U.S. citizens.
Deplorable bunch of hateful people. Most people view them negatively.
The Supreme court has a strong reputation and respect from all American
In my opinion, the Supreme Court has a low reputation, which is deserved. Some of the Justices changed their opinion(s) during the Senate confirmation hearings and what they are actually saying today. Sen. Mitch McConnell is THE most hypocritical person in the world for his decisions to hold or not hold confirmation hearings of duly presidential appointees.
The final word of law in the United States.
Better than the other branches of government
Assuring the American people the promise of equal justice under law
AT THE CURRENT TIME, I BELIEVE THE SUPREME COURT IS A TOSS UP. I AM A CONSERVATIVE AND WAS A DEMOCRAT FOR SOME 40 YEARS. A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, I COULD NO LONGER TOLERATE THE EXTREME VIEWS OF THE DEM PARTY. I EVENTUALLY BECAME A REPUBLICAN. I FIND THE LEFT LEANING SUPREME COURT DEMOCRATS MORE AND MORE LEFT. WHEN A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE CANNOT IDENTIFY WHAT A WOMAN IS AND USES THE EXCUSE SHE IS NOT A BIOLOGIST, IT SPEAKS VOLUMNS TO THE REPUTATION OF THE CURRENT SUPREME COURT.
So far they seem to be making decisions I agree with.
The reputation of the Supreme Court is good.
Since Mitch McConnell and the Republicans stole a Supreme Court seat and allowed Gorsuch to take the seat, the reputation of the court is trash.
The Supreme Court has been very close in its decisions to whichever political party nominated those justices.
It was better when RBG WAS on it and it was more balanced
They are stacked with conservative judges who have little or no respect for past decisions of the Supreme Court. They are prone to making decisions based on their own beliefs, not the way laws were intended. Several of them should NEVER have been approved, but were confirmed by a biased Republican Senate and House!!
They're historically held in high respect, but a few of the newer justices have a questionable reputation.
The current Supreme Court has a reputation as a conservative court of textualist justices who abide by the constitution. This is due to three of them being nominated by a recent Republican president.
The voting is still out. The court empowered by President Trump's approved selections have made some good decisions about not legislating laws from the bench. They have also made some not good decisions. I would grade them a C-. I do not believe there should be any activist judges anywhere in the judicial branch. If they want to make law, they should get elected to Congress.
I think it used to be fair and impartial, but recent additions to the Supreme Court has brought in judges who are allowed to let their rulings be influenced by outside parties and interests.
new york rifle ass. v bruencaento v massachusetts
good, does not please all the people and never will
As the nation's highest court, the court of last resort for those seeking justice, the Court is charged with guaranteeing to the American people the promise of equal justice.
At present the opinion of the Court has changed since Trump changed to direction. I personally think they are well versed in law and we should honor their decision
I THINK A LOT OG WHAT THEY STAND FOR IS WRONG
Is being weaponized like the rest of the DoJ
Recently, very facist and completely corrupt to the core. Should be un-alived ASAP.
It's the apex court and it deserves respects
I think they try to do their best, to decipher the law, but we are all humans with feelings and emotions. Considering all factors, they do a pretty good job.
In spite of the view of parties losing a case, generally the Court as a whole issues fairly well reasoned cases. There are some very questionable individual opinions, however
To uphold the law and constructions of the land
Title IX.   (can't remember exact title)
2000 election of Bush was decided by the supremes
I respect the court and hope they refrain from choosing sides politically in their decisions. They have serious business this term with the college admissions and student loan forgiveness.
Admirable over the years, but are leaning too far toward the rights of corporations and against the people.
There was a time when I thought the supreme Court was an independent body. That it was not politically motivated or controlled. Today I think the high court is being used as a bludgeon to force through a political agenda. I don't feel that the justices are properly vetted anymore. I don't feel like their record is really examined in any real sense. I think their positions are a political musical chairs game with the American people by and large coming out the loser. To be honest I'm a bit disappointed in the supreme Court anymore. I want to respect these people. But I do not.
Supreme Court should be on the side of what is right while listening to all sides when an issue or issues arise. A decision on all issues is very important to the way of life for all people of USA.So be careful and mindful of others
The court has been usurped by the radical religious right in defiance of the Constitutions ban on religion in government separation desirers.
Leans to far right. Religion is being allowed to influence their vote.
It is becoming more and more left leaning and politicized. I am happy with the decisions of the conservative justices but am disappointed that the latest nominees have been chosen for skin color and sexual orientation, as opposed to ability and unbiased opinion.
I think the reputation of the Supreme Court has been severely tarnished by its involvement with political and moral issues. It ,to often, sides with which ever party makes up it's majority.
It used to have respect but now it is a bunch of clowns trying to enact a political agenda that is not in line with the wishes of the American people. It is dangerous and a threat to human rights.
The courts reputation is the lowest it’s been for years. The dismantling of Roe v Wade and what that means for other laws is an abomination. Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from all cases concerning Donald Trump and the BigLie because of his wife’s involvement in promoting the lie.
The Supreme Court used to be impart and relatively fair. Now however they seem to have become ultra conservatives and partisan even though the recent additions claimed they would respect established laws
Mostly interested in finding loopholes in the Constitution in order to be popular in Washington.
It used to be known as fair and impartial, relying on precedent and constitutional reasons. Now it seems to be more political. The idea of lifetime tenure can help them be independent.
very conservative, and in my opinion it's reputation is VERY poor. Clarance Thomas should be impeached
The Supreme Court is now an extention of the GOP.
Poor, the current Supreme Court is stacked with overly conservative appointments that for the most part are unqualified ,lack actual court experience, too religiously Christian , and in some members too 'right wing'.
Proving themselves to be the perfect checks and balances medium and adhering to constitutional intent. Thus, the best of reputation.
Before Trump added 3 conservative justices, the court seemed to be apolitical, trusted and respected. Now not so much. The fact that the court destroyed a FITY-year right for a woman to control her own body makes them suspect in all cases that were decided in a less than conservative way. Justice Thomas openly stated he felt that the current court should rule on other long-held rights.
Has become too political in favor of reactionary ideas
Before citizens united, scotus was ‘on most high’ with upholding humanity rights, even influencing other countries democracy ideals. BUT NO MORE! scotus is demonic, anti-rights.
Follows the Constitution as written and the laws without ruling by political leanings
Dobbs v Jackson women’s health organization
The Supreme Court is not suppose to be partisan but is showing itself to more and more be so (leaning to the right). This inability to be non-partisan makes us want to limit their term to no more than 10 years. The pre listed reason is one of the reasons that the reputation of the Supreme Court has lost a great degree of respect.
right now, filled with extremists that were put into the positions to fulfill an agenda. Overall - a court to help interpret laws, and overrule states when they are not doing what is right for their citizens.
In general the Supreme Court have ruled what is correctly, which means by following the US Constitution. But at times they have read into constitution what a majority did not see or agree.
Case overturning Roe v Wade making abortion illegal
I think the Supreme Court should be an objective body making decisions based on knowledge of and interpretation of the constitution and the laws in place. The court should also give thoughtful consideration to the effects of their decisions on the citizens of the country. However it seems that the Court has more of a reputation for often being more subjective and influenced by politics in their rulings.
Currently they are conservative leaning and a threat to Americans.
the reputation of the Supreme Court has diminished in recent years due to the fact that the democrats want to use it for their sole benefit.
The current reputation isn't as good as it used to be, I don't think. The court seems to be more politically motivated than it used to be. The Constitution should be its ONLY guide, not public opinion or politics!
The Supreme Court is the best court, and I believe that they will present the best solutions to thorny problems and issues that are in line with the people's demands in a legal manner, and we hope that they will be fair.
The current supreme court is going beyond the checks and measures given to them undoing previous cases
Depends on who gets paid off.. they are letting politicians rule instead of upholding the law.
That it is a right wing court currently. The reputation is poor and untrustworthy.
Recently, a poor reputation. Overturning rights that the majority of Americans agree with is dangerous and an over reach of power. Instead of critical thinking justices are only aligning with party which sets a dangerous precedent. The current group is not representative of the country and having life terms is very dangerous.
In previous years, their reputation seemed to be to legislate from the bench, but I think that is improving.
Ensuring the American people the promise equal justice law
The far left media has besmearch their reputation when gaoes against their agenda. The court now is exercising proper use of the law and constitution. The problem lies in legislators that don't want deal with decisive issues.
I FEEL THEY DO THE BEST THE CAN AND TRY TO JUDGE THE BEST THEY CAN
Currently, the Supreme Court should be ashamed of themselves. The amount of corruption on this bench, especially among the conservatives, and the fact that 3 of them are illegitimate is still apalling to me.
being of the highest power, they need to listen to what the majority of the American people want. It should work in their favor.
I hope the Supreme Court will always make the right and fair decision.
I have no problems with the supreme court.
It is of the highest organe of poewr in the country,it makes judgments accouding to the law,it evaluates the law, it needs to be amended,and it needs to make legisilation
I have no clue what that question means. Do you mean of the court as a whole or individual persons? Are you speaking about the court record as a whole or each persons background check?
The left of center hate it. The right of center love it. There will be no agreement in this polarized country.
The judgement by the supreme court is great
Sometimes you act contrary to what people want
Not good - not confident in justices to make good decisions (have concerning pasts that may cloud judgment)
It is mostly conservative but some justices are really far left Liberal and I worry that will be the makeup of the Supreme Court for the future. This threatens our way of life and our Constitutional rights.
Supreme court decision in Dobbs v.Jackson women health organization
Has a conservative reputation but follows the true law
not really good right now as in roe vs wade this shold still be in effect as now there will be a lot of unwanted babies They just seem to be wishy washy and could careless about public opinion
It use to be law of the land but lately them seem to be going woke on liberal issues
Disappointing have become very liberal because john Roberts is compromised
Stacked with conservatives, many who are not worthy of the appointment. But still forced in by the senate. One needs removal for conflict of interests.
My opinion: Since SCOTUS refused to hear any cases regarding the 2020 election because they stated "no standing," my UNFAVORABLE opinion about SCOTUS and the Chief Justice increased. Further, ever since the "leak" out of the SCOTUS and very weak investigation into how the "leak" occurred and not resolved, the reputation of the SCOTUS has further diminished. I no longer have any trust in any of the institutions of this US government, i.e., any of the 3 branches or of election integrity--all seem to be corrupted at various levels--no longer of, by, or for the people. The US Constitution has been trampled and shredded, slowly but steadily, over the past 50-60 years, beginning with when prayer was taken out of the public school system (Madeline Murray O'Hare). When I was a kid, we prayed, read the Bible, and recited the Pledge of Allegiance in public school. The country was safer then, people had morals, the nuclear family was generally intact. No school shootings, etc.
it is ok as long as they do not become political. I think the most recent justice should not be on the court because she cannot define what a woman is
The Supreme court was fair in making decisions until Pres . Trump appointed conservatives to the Court. Now it appears that all divisions are made on religious ideas. Religion has no part in government.
(1)The justices really did “ride the circuit” and hear cases around the country.(2)John Marshall is only one of two justices to appear on U.S. currency.
It used to be a revered court with intelligent judges but recently some of the judges are not that knowledgeable. It's very disappointing that law schools are turning out activists.
Today the Supreme Court majority is made up of facist, right wing extremists that does NOT represent the American public. Their reputation is out of date and repressive. Women's rights are being pushed back 100 years!
Politically motivated and conservatively biased. Retrograde. Dangerous to democracy. Risible.
A bad reputation with the majority of US citizens
pretty good, especially with Gorsuch and Barrett
For the last several years, it has been leaning left. I am pleased that there are more conservative judges on the court. Hopefully, the Democrats will not be able to pack the court.
That they are essentially fair and equitable in their decisions.
Too conservative. Biased. Following a republican agenda. Too religious - making laws based on their own religious beliefs
To review cases and keep in line with law but to also realize that society has changed and is changing and laws need to change with our evolving times and society.
It use to be slanted left but now is in the middle
Very conservative now. At least 2 of justices are not qualified. No longer viewed as legal experts. justices were bought for personal gains.
Most of the justices are honest, fair-minded people. Some are political hacks that demean the reputation of the Court and insult the intelligence of the American public. The latter are apparently not biologists.
The court has gotten a bad wrap over abortion. many are waiting for the LEAKER to be named. bad rep on that. looks like the court is covering for the leaker. bad court. it's unthinkable that protests are allowed at judges homes when its against the law & nobody did anything
unfair and they should do what is right for the people not because they don't like it
I used to believe they were being objective. Not any more. They have become a very conservative body.
I think the current Supreme Court is a conservative cabal. One of the appointments was stolen from President Obama.
Reputation is at an all-time low. Thought it could not sink lower than with Bush v Gore and Citizen's United. I was so wrong. I have great reverence for our institutions--as they should be. The current Supreme Court is shameful and below contempt.
It is usually very liberal in it’s rulings. It needs to stick within the constitutional framework
Most of the time I agree with their rulings.
The Supreme Court is now a travesty, they are placing their own feelings to change things instead of using the law or the will of the people
Upholding their standard in delivering judgment
They are completely controlled by the rightwing religious wingnuts, proudly led by Mitch McConnell who has the morals of a 3rd grade schoolyard bully.
Political ew but respectable. I wouldn’t want their job
In my opinion, the reputation of the Supreme Court is in tatters. It has proved to be a partisan branch of government that actively "legislates from the bench."
It is definitely conservative and most of its decisions reflect its political ideology. I do think the Court will not touch interracial marriage, same sex couples, or contraception because these practices have become so ingrained in the United States that it would be virtually impossible to change them.
It has been very constitutional until recently. Now Biden is trying to interfere in the Constitution.
To resolve issues with honor and integrity
Good right now, but if they keep putting people in there that cannot define a woman, we will be in deep trouble in a few years.
Bad, far too conservative and not legitimately chosen
The current Supreme Court has a poor reputation, due to its very conservative majority’s egregious recent decisions.
They have alot of differences and don't always make good decisions
Reputation is not very positive right now.
Right now it is perceived poorly because of decisions that don't reflect the majority of people, glaring ethics problems with no ethics standards and blatant misrepresentations of their possible actions during their confirmation hearings.
Worthless. Tainted. Unable to separate their own personal and religious viewpoints from constitutional and legal precedents and laws.
I believe that the reputation of the Supreme Court is good. I believe we have some good judges on the court now. I have seen some cases where even those judges who are on the left rather than the right are voting with those on the right. That's a good sign, saying that the judges are using their authority in a good way and not just voting the way their "party" wants them to vote, they are voting on the merits of the case, not the politics of the case.
It used to be very good, but in the past 5 years it has become bad.
They are trying to take away many long established rights while several of them engage in very unethical conduct.
The reputation is somewhat tainted due to it being an unbalanced court. Also, it is now seen as doing the work of Republicans, with various rulings not going in the favor of the majority of Americans
Right now our Supreme Court doesn't have a great reputation.
Right now, I think it's seen as left-leaning politically.
at this time I believe it is a conservative court - more members voting toward conservative values
uphold the constitution -- the law of the land
It has become extremely conservative and I am afraid of how much they will set this country (and it's citizens) back by removing established rights (such as Rob v. Wade). Also afraid of what they might do to upcoming cases involving freedom.
terrible. the conservatives are corrupt their spouses are corrupt. Several lied under oath to get on the court. they refuse to properly police themselves. They are a national disgrace.
Poor, it uses their personal religious values instead of being impartial.
It’s reputation is MUD now. Biased political hacks and religious nuts and one married to a big mouthed outright terrorist
Currently they are in low esteem for eliminating a precedent with overturning roe vs wade and threatening to overturn other decisions
Right now? Very poor. Clearly partisan. Wrong in overturning settled law (which some stated they would not do before confirmation). I don’t think its reputation has ever been poorer.
Awful. Unorganized. Messy. They don’t know what they are doing at all.
Pretty bad right now -- especially with the latest appointee by the Democrats -- clearly that was not about impartiality, but politicized the Court System instead
Leans left…unwilling to rule on some cases which seem too controversial
It has a very good reputation and it's a very fair court.
Currently it is dominated by conservative Christian justices who want to change the US to a nation run by “christian” philosophy and rules
Currently its reputation is as a politically motivated group due to members who don't see their role as to uphold the law for the good of all but to advance an agenda of those who put them in power.
A bunch of old people who dont understand the constitution
I think the Supreme Court is not very fair.
I think the reputation of the Supreme Court is bad because it doesn’t uphold all of the rights identified in the constitution.
The Supreme Court was becoming a very liberal and political court. Donald Trump has changed that and we now have more "originalist" judges. I feel the rulings are now more based on the constitution as it was written.
Not good. They have swayed from the basic truths.
In many cases, Supreme Court oversteps their bounds and do not take into consideration that all races, males, and females should have the same rights.
The reputation has dropped considerably. It is not a neutral entity as it should be. Trust in the court to do the right thing has become a partisan fight. The court should not have lifetime appointments because it can stack the deck for years.
Poor. The GOP rammed in an alleged sex offender and a barely qualified religious fundamentalist
It stinks and some of the appointed were appointed under false pretenses. They did not tell the truth under Oath.
The court is conservative but not activist.
Very conservative and a majority of old white men, including Clarence Thomas with his white wife
The Supreme Court's guarantee of civil rights
Currently the court has a reputation of ruling based on personal and political goals and not on the rule of law.
Depending on the political breakdown depends on the outcomes
very honorable people who give a lot of thought and consideration to their judgments
Not well to date, with the offer turning off Roe v. Wade, who are they to say what I can or cannot do with my body. Especially in the instances of "God forbid an sexual attack, or known problem with the fetus I'm carrying that would be born either stillborn or an unimaginable painful life.". I mean who are they to make that choice for anyone? Not knowing the circumstances, just making a BLANKET assumption of the way it should be for every woman, everywhere. PERIOD. NO WAY!!!
Not very good now! One can’t explain what a women is!
When we think of the political structure of the United States, we will not hesitate to think of the system of separation of powers, namely legislative, executive, and judicial.
Garbage, they are currently pushing a religiously based agenda that is harmful to Americans,
It is good. I think some should be more. Understanding of this crazy world. I think biracial we are made is up to the couple. I'm not that knowledgeable about every question. But they're all different and I don't like. Some of the questions. I just hope this world comes together and whom will say GOD made me.
I am afraid it is not as good a reputation as it was a few years ago.
After the last justice was seated, the Supreme Court has become too conservative. I have a concern for the validity of a truly unbiased decision.
supreme power of the superme court msdlison
Supreme court is extremely conservative but I think the new judge will be the difference.
Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization
A once-reputable institution that is now intent on enforcing regressive conservative views on the country
At the moment there are issues which I see as not good decisions which the Supreme Court did..such as Roe vs. Wade
It is not considered to have a bad reputation as it hears appeals from lower courts as well as cases of great national importance.
Poor and going downhill like the rest of the government
I feel the reputation of the Supreme Court is slowly decreasing.
The rule of law is for The Supreme Court to uphold the Constitution. The use of the word reputation is ridiculous and has nothing to do with the workings of The Supreme Court.
Overturning roe vs wade makes them look dumb
Shit. Right wing nut jobs are forgetting their duty to interpret the Constitution dispassionately and objectively. Term limits should also apply to the Courts.
I would say that every single person has their own views and that it should not be up to the government as to vote on what happens to yourself. I think the supreme court should only be allowed to intervene when it comes to punishment for murdersor pedophiles or bad people like that, not for innoncent peoplethat just want to live their best life.
To make just laws and make sure everything is run correctly
Very bad. Biased towards republicans and not fair in judgement.
The current court likely does not have a very favorable opinion, especially in light of the Roe V. Wade situation.
Until recently it was generally held in high regard. Since 2016 and the sham of the Republican garbage (Mitch McConnell) having a stranglehold it has become nothing more that an old boys network. First, by refusing to allow Obama a chance to appoint a judge, and then loading it with right wing nut-jobs and allowing Ginny Thomas' actions to have no effect on her husbands recusal on cases, I think the court has lost a LOT of respect. Even on both sides. (There are still reasonable conservatives). It's too bad there are not term limits. It is very clear the authoritarian rule is trying to be put into place with the court as it is.
Failing we the people. They seem to be heading toward wokeism
This current one sucks ass but they have some decisions in the past. I hope there’s some compassion and reason but probably not
Generally favorable but the attacks from both sides are getting dangerous
the JUdicial DECISIION THAT LED THE CIVIL WAR
The Supreme Court is fair and impartial.
Terrible. There are 4 fantastic justices, but the rest have a strong political agenda to make decisions simply based on conservative and extremist agenda. I do not trust the court as a whole. This is the first time in my 58 years, that I do not trust SCOTUS, and already know how it will rule, based purely on an extremist right wing agenda.
I think the Supreme People's Court has a very good reputation for fairness and fairness.
Waning. The court is no longer balanced between conservative and liberal judges
I think it's terrible right now! It's supposed to be unbiased yet isn't (look at how either party acts when there's an opening). There is an idea about the separation of church and state yet some of their decisions scream otherwise.
They overturned Roe v Wade which has been long-standing. They are trying to push their religious views on everyone else and most are conservatives. SO I totally disagree with their nonsense.
With the Trump appointees, the reputation has gone off the rails. They are not conservatives but radical right wingers. Amy Barrett isn't qualified and Clarence Thomas should recuse himself on any case where his wife is involved (but he doesn't).
The Supreme Court has been making wrong decisions (sinful ones), in the past such as: Legalizing pornography -Stanley v. Georgia (Porn - creates Adult & Child Sexual Abuse). Removing prayer, the Bible & Ten Commandments from our Schools as a standard to live by has caused lawlessness and sinful crimes. Legalizing abortion is killing human’s off springs and sacrificing them unto Molech. Legalizing same-sex marriage is unnatural and abusing sexual body parts the wrong way - Attacking Jehovah's creating Man and Women Marriage purposes.
The judges of the Supreme Court are nominated by the President of the United States and approved by the Senate. The judges are all experienced legal scholars and practitioners, so their legal opinions and decisions are highly professional and authoritative.
at this time the court has justices that are unqualified and the reputation is going down the toilet. They are using their opinions and not law to make decisions.
Literally crap, they are a weaponized extension of the GOP. All nominees agreed that Roe v Wade was settled yet overturned it while loosening gun restrictions. It is obvious they are allowing their personal religious beliefs to influence their judgements rather than fact. I don't trust them, I think they're an absolute embarrassment and ACB wasn't even qualified for her appointment. No one should be allowed to have a lifetime appointment anymore, that was established when people only lived into their 40s regularly. Clarence Thomas is absolutely compromised by his wife and on several occasions should have recused himself. The whole state of it makes me sick, the Democrats should expand the court, the GOP blocked Obama from getting his last nominee and didn't even wait a day to replace RBG. The unexpected retirement of Kennedy is suspect given the history of that party and their promises to pack the court, which they have achieved and now control the judicial branch in addition to enough of the legislative to do major damage setting us back to a civil war era. I fear women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ people cannot rely on the judicial system to protect us from straight, white, Christian men anymore and we barely had that.
As long as we follow the laws and rules of our community, we should be able to do anything that doesn’t cause harm to anyone.
The decisions of the Supreme Court are widely influential and authoritative, so they have a profound impact on public policy, individual rights and social development.
It is so so. In the recent past s lot of the issues taken by the Supreme Court have been judged to be extremely conservative. We need to have done liberal members now.
I used to think that the Supreme Court was above partisan politics and deliberated on each issue based on precedent and the case's merits. Now it seems like the Supreme Court is a split and partisan body, forcing through conservative decisions and not really upholding precedent or the spirit of the law.
the majority are maga heads that are incapable of anything other than group think voting
The case of the US government vs the state of Texas.
Terrible as of late. Use to be good before Trump put his picks into the Court.
Since trump the Supreme Court is very biased and is very detrimental to the citizens of the United States and to our way of life. The government is becoming more corrupt than ever
The Supreme Court is the highest tribunal in the nation for all cases and controversies arising under the Constitution or the laws of the United States.
I believe the Supreme Court has a generally good just reputation. however I feel as of late the political party in powers views are being upheld to the detriment of society.
They always lie to us, I don't trust them
Right now the reputation of the Supreme Court is one of absolute disgust!
It's the highest level federal court in the United States, responsible for interpreting and enforcing the U.S. Constitution and federal laws, and has significant influence on the entire legal system of the country.
not that bad considering that they are a bunch of lawyers
Divided, uncaring, and has forgotten our country was built on these basic facts: that State and Religion is to be separate (as with the abortion ban): that people have freedoms so long as it doesn't hurt others physically, mentally, or emotionally (such as gay marriage); and finally, that all are created equal, yet the government suppresses the poor/middle class and refuses to see what they are doing to the majority of the people in our country.
I think it is fair and honorable. The Justice's really try to follow the law.
i do not want to say any thing about it , sorry
not great as it seems to be just another political arm
Very old and conservative. Trying to keep this picture of old time USA alive and it’s never really been a thing
currently it is leaning fairly conservative and it doesn't seem to be as non political as one would wish
Supreme Court justices atleast we can see everything free and fair
The reputation of the supreme court was in good standing, they seemed bipartisian. Now they are showing, red and blue. The decisions made now are to make help the parties, make sure the "maga" masters are proud of them.
Currently a little shady. They had no right to overturn Roe vs. Wade
Generally was good and well respected until recently. I think in recent times especially after Roe V Wade was over turned some respect has been lost as many judges sitting on the court are not up to prior standards and have their own agendas not necessarily aligned with what is just for American people.
it is the highest court that makes a final decision in lawful actions.
Too many times it legislates from the bench (changing the wording of a law so as to make it constitutional) rather than ruling on its constitutionality. O polther times they refuse to hear controversial cases because of threats from politicians and/or activist groups.
Currently, the Supreme Court has a checkered reputation with the American Left and Right. The Left feels the Supreme Court is too rigid with its supermajority of conservatives, and the Right feels the opposite, that the Supreme Court is not conservative enough when it comes to social issues.
It’s a sell-out manned by unqualified jurors chosen for their conservative politics. Untrustworthy!
The conservative members of the court are crazy
Respectable but with the overturning of Roe vs Wade, leaves me questioning the integrity of the court. Women’s rights and freedom of choice, recognizing separation of church and state. This is alarming to overturn.
I believe that the Supreme Court is honest but there are higher powers in play, also the Judicial System is broke and in need of repair. As in some sort of Grand Jury to investigate it's past rulings. The Supreme Court cannot have the final decision, there are major "Flaws" in this system. Also there are higher hidden powers that control our Government.
Not good for the most part because of who is on it currently & the decisions they have made. It is because of those decisions that there's been talk of removing the life term for Supreme Court justices.
Generally a balancing force for the government to protect the rights of citizens based on precedence. Now a hand for conservatives to make regressive changes
I think right now the Supreme Court has a very conservative reputation.
Authoritarian, conservative, and religious. Corrupt, and corporate owned.
Depends who is in the majority...conservative or liberal justices.
They used to be fairly moderate, but had trend toward more conservative.
A good one they are admired and respected.
Ultra Christian nationalistic ideology. Religion before law.
They are doing a good job for the people
Very unpredictable and can do stuff unexpected
I think that the reputation of the Supreme Court is good.
Very conservative court and definitely biased!
swings with the wing; loaded bases for assholes
I think the Supreme Court is mostly right in their decisions. I respect them as a whole.
The SCOTUS is deeply divided between the Conservative justices & the liberal/progressive justices. The Conservative justices seem to rule more strongly on the constitutionality of a case, while the liberal justices seem to rule more on their "feelings" or what they think might be best for we, the people, even if the ruling may not be constitutional. Therefore, I feel the reputation, by the people, of the SCOTUS, is as deeply divided as our country/citizens are divided along Conservative vs Liberal beliefs.
They are working hard to get the people behind
Its reputation is determined by its impartiality, independence and professionalism in handling cases, as well as its contribution to judicial reform, judicial fairness and judicial transparency. The Supreme People's Court must continue to improve its reputation in order to maintain the people's trust and respect for it.
and North Carolina (affirmative action) ...Moore v. Harper (
Reputation is its impartiality, independence and authority.
I think the Supreme People's Court is very good, fair and just.
Do not trust them to do what is best for the country.
The present court has more conservative justices than liberal justices.
I don’t think they have a very good reputation
Typically votes in favor of the people, but also with a selfish agrnda
I think the Supreme People's Court is very good, fair and just, I think very good.
The girl who smashed her father's head with an axe
The Teen Who Killed in the Name of Love: 'Long Island Lolita'
Reputation is fixed with the difference of judges. We can express our opinion about the judges
The Supreme Court is a landmark institution with rigor, precision, impartiality, and independence. Therefore, its reputation has been highly recognized and respected by the global judicial community.
Cheveron v National Resource Defense Council
It has always been a political body - only now people are starting to realize this. Political scientist are right about the above and the sooner law schools and lawyers need to stop seeing "the law" and the Supreme Court as a church and a priesthood the better the country will be. Merrick Garland (not a fan) should have been seated - this event was the final blow to whatever shred of legitimacy the Supreme Court has. The federalist society and Citezens United along with Buckley have destroyed the functioning of democracy. Want a hint how the court will rule? takes 2 steps: 1. The court will rule in favor of corporations and 2. will rule in favor of christian fundamentalism if it doesn't run afoul of step 1. The court in the Chevron case under the conservative court wants to dismantle federal agencies like the EPA and watch the country burn by not allowing the legislator create laws. I think I read a study from I believe Standford years ago where what the voters want ignored but if capital/corporations wanted something they got it 90% of the time in large part of this court. Even the "liberal justices" are pro corporate and have spotty record when it comes to labor. To top it all off this court has NO ethics standards on when to recuse themselves from cases. TL:DR: One word - Garbage.
The reputation of the Supreme Court is in low standing at this point and time . Because they are passing laws or not upholding laws that are on the books .
Their reputation is to align with the government and with the people to do what is right
That depoends on who is sitting on it. Right now we have a conservative majority on the panel but at times we have had a liberal majority. They are known to vote mostly along their affiliations. You can usually tell how a vote is going to go by the leanings of the judges.
The Court is the highest tribunal in the Nation for all cases and controversies arising under the Constitution or the laws of the United States.
The decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court are often seen as having enormous influence and authority, affecting not only the U.S. legal system, but also international legal, political, and economic fields.
At this point in time, they’ve corrupted their purpose & failed the people.
The Supreme Court should be a highly respected, unbiased group of judges. Lately, it seems to be leaning very far to the right, which doesn't fairly represent the vast majority of US citizens.
It doesn't seem to be as respected now as it did a decade or two ago. And, it seemstobe going the way of government in general. No one believes or trusts them.
I think this Supreme Court has done a good job at following the constitution on ruling cases. Everyone had a good reputation except the lady appointed women judge. She seems to follow what she thinks the law should be and not what it is. She is very liberal and supports criminals rights over law abiding citizens.
Right now it's currently trying g to take away the rights of the people
Regents of the University of California v.
The Supreme Court SHOULD ABIDE BY THE CONSTITUTION and STOP DESTROYING THE AMERICA WE LIVE IN. GROOMING SHOULD BE STOPPED, OUR CHILDREN SHOULD NOT HAVE PROPAGANDA TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS/LIBRARIES, AND THIS TRANS CRAP SHOULD BE OUTLAWED!
The reputation of the supreme Court Justice is good
The supreme court does not have a really good reparations right now
Their reputation is to align with the government and also the people when determining a case
Ensure that the American people receive equal justice of the law. The US Congress is filled with corrupted politicians who get away with just about anything. I have no trust in the US government
I do not think it is a very good reputation.
requests for review of decisions of federal appellate or district courts.
Dangerously and extremely conservative to the point of taking away rights and freedoms people have had for decades now.
Right now I don't think they are doing good in the reputation department. I believe they are leaving a lot of decisions up to the states instead of courts and politicians
The Supreme Court has always adhered to the people-centered position and strived to protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens, so that it can win a better reputation if it continues.
I feel their reputation is as it was before
It not only did it circle the drain, it got flushed. I never thought I would live to see such corruption in the highest court in the land. We need to expand the number of judges and establish rule of ethics for said justices.
The make the final decision according to the law.
It has higher standard and can over rule anything
It used tl be very well respected but the recent appointees all lied to get senate approval and they reversed what waa already decided. Its shameful and embarrassing
I think the majority favor the Supreme Court. They even what to increase the amount of judges.
It's okay, but judges have an essential role
Making sure the is equal and fair justice for all Americans
The Supreme Court no longer lives up to its name. The Supreme Court now, in my opinion, is an arm of the radical part of the Republican Party. It does not represent the country as a whole anymore. Respect for the court is not what it once was. Unless things change at the court, it may become irrelevant
Trump era /appointments ruined the Supreme court
Standard Oil Co. v. United States (1932)
I believe the Supreme Court should uphold the law as it is interpreted, with reason free from passion.
Supreme Court can be described as an institution with immense authority and influence, often regarded as the final interpreter of the Constitution and the ultimate arbiter of legal disputes in the country.
The supreme court overturned its 1973 ruling in roe v .Wade
To satisfy the richest politicians and loudest crybaby groups
Very conservative and controversial as of late with their decisions.
NYS Rifle and Pistol Association vs Bruen
A few want to rule from the bench and that is wrong.
Conservative, right-wing, federalist. Reactionary. Regressive.
The reputation of the Supreme Court has been hurt somewhat by the recent decisions on Roe v. Wade
in the pits at least 3 illegitimate judges hearings under ind#1 were a sham, one should resign for conflicts and was questionable from the start,and one that should be indicted for perjury during his sham hearings it's stacked and working for select groups against the people
i dont know very well about the reputation of the supreme court
I don't follow politics or civics whatsoever. I have enough going on in my little bubble of family & friends and am old enough now where crap doesn't either bother or concern me. What will be will be. Saying that I have little faith in our justice system.
I feel that sometimes they get a bad wrap, but only from those that don't fully understand what the supreme court actually does. Judges, judge. They are not there to push their own personal agenda.
freedom for your rights in telling a women what to do with her body is not cool
I have no idea. I don't follow the news and I don't know what they have done
Bad stomping on the rights of women & other people
reputation of the Supreme Court is not very good
Trust in the supreme Court is at a low record
In recent years, the Supreme Court had a conservative turn and is using that bias to overturn sentences that guaranteed social rights. The Court should not use the judges' personal bias to decide.
I'm not sure but they should try to uphold laws to benefit all people.
Controversial, and chooses when to and when to not grant people of basic human rights in the U.S.
Depending on who is in power or who holds most seats that's who gets to make the rules and interpret the law in a way that serves them.
The Supreme Court is overloaded with so many issues, need more Supreme Court judges, to decide what right for America.
To do the right thing, I know it’s a tough job to make everyone happy, I don’t know what to do either, none of us do, just the majority vote is all I can figure what to do
I think they should take care of business at hand. getting into peoples personal business is not allowed.
The Court has become more political over the past few decades. It is a shame because the Court is supposed to make decisions based on the law and not emotions.
REVERSE DISCRIMINATION CASE ON CA. SCHOOLS, BERKELEY
SCOTUS under conser rule has been a boon to the US. See what happened to Wisc/ by going WOKE in their state court with the election of female leftist. Court decisions are very important for varied Bill of Rights cases. Frankly I would favor SCOTUS using the 10th Amendment to settle more cases: states are closer to the public freedoms in many cases than Federal jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court is an embarrassment to this country. They have lost their way and have become detached from society. Clarence Thomas and several others should be impeached. When Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell were allowed to stack the Supreme Court with real conservative judges, I figured that was the end of the integrity of the highest court in the land. The last 3 judges were chosen because they are so conservative and were put on the court just to overturn Roe v Wade. Those Judges aren't even qualified for that position. Some have never tried a case in court. I think it is pathetic. Two seats were stolen from the Democrats by the Republicans. I hope I can live to see this wrong righted. Also, the Judges shouldn't have a lifetime appointment. Seven years should be the maximum.
In most cases, conservative as expected.
Today, it is an institution that is more Christian conscience and Bible-based, but sadly not as conservative as most of us conservatives had hoped it would be after the appointments of the Trump era. So its reputation among liberals who think they should be able to do whatever they want (unless it bothers THEM) is one of people who are out to stop sin and debauchery, and those liberals who refuse to serve God and accept Christ's gift of salvation never want to see that happen.
The supreme court is so powerful in judicial cases and dealing with sensitive cases in the society and politics
I totally respect this branch of the government. I respect the constitution and am tolerant when a president of a different party is able to nominate who he wants. I feels it is balanced
Very poor since Donald Trump appointed right wing ideologues to the court.
Following party in which they align with
The Supreme Court has 6 partisan hacks. They already struck down Roe v Wade. So if these cases come before them, they will overturn to fit their religious beliefs.
I believe the Supreme Court should not be a lifetime job/ it should be for a set period of 5 years and then all should go and have new ones put in place// right now it's a choice of Parties Republican and Democrats and this is wrong/ I don't think their reputation is good/
The Supreme Court interprets constitutional law and makes unbiased decisions on cases that need further judicial review.
Tarnished but not yet irreversibly so. Things will get worse.
I believe that the Supreme Court represents the dignity of national law.
It follows what the majority of justices feels is important.
Currently conservative with a couple of seats taken up by people appointed using shady tactics.
The reputation of the Supreme Court is to uphold laws that can not be handled by state courts or to withhold laws for the entire country it doesn't matter what your state court beliefs or don't belief in that law.
A wonderful reputation and a rightful owner, and the world's rights are not lost within the United States
they drag their feet on importent issues
Terrible. This country needs a lot of help.
Supreme Court is doing an excellent job upholding the law of the land. They're not on the local news or breaking the law
I think the court has a good reputation.
It has its ups and downs but it's still a good court
I don’t know very much about them but I’m hoping that when they hear cases and make decisions they are looking very carefully at both views of the cases and the effects it willl have on the United States and it’s people.
It is slowly declining. It used to be fair and just but now it’s obvious that there is no separation of church and state.
I honestly have no idea who or what they do
Where you go to get things done or over turned very high reputation
I think that they have over stepped the boundaries.
reputation should not be the issue. its following the constitution. so by that standard i would say the split between conservative and liberal holds.
they are less an impartial body upholding & interpreting the letter of the law and more a partisan body ruling on cases based on their own agendas and beliefs
That they bend to whatever will get them re-elected.
Before they overturned Roe vs Wade, I thought they strived to be fair at all times. Now I am trying to figure out how things can be overturned after so many years.
The Supreme court is very knowlegable and somewhat trustworthy in some matters and untrustworthy in others
They are doing their job and anything they decide there is always the ones who disagree of what they are trying to do and I just might be one of those people who disagree or agree
The reputation of the supreme Court is to uphold the law of the land. They are held to the highest standard of this country to uphold the laws of this country and change them when necessary.
Highest court in the nation They should be the last judgement.
currently? Center-right. Roberts is a wind sock and a huge disappointment.
I'm not sure since I don't follow politics
The Supreme Court should be more acted in serious court cases .Not letting people off with a slap on the hand.
it has a good reputation but it can be wrong at times
Their reputation is not very good these days. People need to find themselves again. We have gone so far and forgot where we came from. The social media needs to go. We need to hit the rewind button and go back to past and try again. Where the only phone we had was at home. There were no internet or video games. A time when you actually felt like you belong. I can go on but in today's society I don't have the time. In the past we had all the time.
I fell that they're not always fair in reading and upholding the constitution
In my opinion I feel that the Supreme Court has and will continue to make the best decision in any cases that go to the Supreme Court
The supreme Court has a bad rap because the president of the United States elects most of the judges to the supreme Court.
Highest court on land that also solve lots of cases from a lower courts that didn't do justice for Citizens .
Taking away the choice of the individual is wrong but taking away a babies choice is wrong. That's what the u.s. was based on and they need to remember that. Alot have forgotten that fact.
bad! In my eyes, never did like the supreme court and there rulings. specially for a black african as myself.
I think the Supreme Court is too Liberal.
Lately it’s becoming political, Supreme Court should not be swayed in any way ,this could create a lack of trust and hope
Terrible, and only getting worse under the guise of "conservative" and "religious".
They have lost all of my respect, for overturning Roe v Wade
The highest court of courts. It is to my opinion that they have upheld a good reputation to the public.
They have the power to some rules in theme convince
As of today, I believe the Supreme Court is divided unfairly
Not sure. There are many cases out today that have been revised multiple times and in multiple courts.
Supreme court is bought off just like any other but more expensive and more dirty
It all depends on what some of the rulings are because sometimes I don’t agree with what they rule
The reputation of the Supreme Court is that they are very conservative.
Bias, overly-right, hypocritical, religious zealots....
Mostly right on with laws as written. There are some Democrat apointees who are playing politics and now established law.
Co-opted by corporate interest and not a representation of the people.
Lately, I think it is awful. I used to respect it, but I lost the respect when Roe V Wade was overturned.
Very Poor. Seen as an extreme group of people. The process itself is flawed and the way people are appointed doesn't make sense
No very great. Not only the supreme court but the whole united stated government
I don’t know that I can actually answer this completely.
The reputation of the Supreme Court is wishy-washy. Sometimes their decisions make sense and other times their decisions don't.
I feel that the US Supreme Court does not have abgood reputation at this time. I feel the world has changed so much and there is such a wide range if diversity that it just cannot be popular.
I have some doubts about some of their rulings in the last few years
Like all political entities, the SCOTUS is constantly changing.
I believe that it tries to be fair although sometimes citizens do not agree with their decisions.
They formerly had a reputation for upholding what was constitutionally correct, however there are now worries of partisanship by them. Mix that with their lifetime appointments and the way they've been deciding these past few years and you don't get a good one [reputation].
It is very good. We now have a Supreme Court follow the Constitution. They are to determined if a law is Constitutional. They are not to make law.
Tarnished by politics and political correctness. it has expanded it's authority by broadly interpreting and in some cases (Afordable Care Act) acted as an unelected legislative body. Liberal justices often consider themselves supreme beings, instead of interpreters of law. It is laughably humiliating when a justice who cannot define what a woman is or an illiterate "wise latina" believe that they carry the moral authority to infringe upon the rights guaranteed to individuals by the Constitution in order to promote Government intrusion. (FISA Courts, NSA, CIA, FBI, DIA, DOE, EPA)
This SCOTUS is biased , extremely conservative and totally corrupt!
The reputation of the Supreme Court historically was seen as the epitome, heartbeat of the American citizen. The Supreme Court could benefit from a strong statin, let’s get them back on track. Women’s health, same sex marriage, interracial marriage and immigration are very important laws that effect the majority of Americans daily lives. In my opinion Dobb’s decision is anachronistic. I was born in 1973 and for the first time in my life I could face serious legal consequences for personal and private choices. My hope is the Supreme Court is resuscitated and they can once again shine, move our Laws forward according these modern times.
The Supreme Court has become increasingly conservative over the last few years.
I don't really know much about the Supreme Court, but whenever I hear of anything it always seems like they have old and backwards views. They don't seem progressive enough.
They stick there nose where it doesn't belong and should refuse to consider some cases. To politically motivated, should be totally UN-bias.
Mostly Constitutionally minded but definite bias exists especially where the liberal Judges are concerned.
They tend to side with more conservative laws
A right wing non democratic groups of misogynistic antiquated majority old men who are bought and paid for by wealthy individuals
Supreme Court reputation is a fair process that weighs all the pro and con accordingly to the constitution
To make ruling that protect the right of the people
I think their reputation has gone down. I think they have become closeted as opposed to the equality of rights.
The Supreme Court, unfortunately, are involved in politics instead of using the LAW to make their decisions. I have heard a lot of people talk against the Supreme Court and I feel that if their terms were reduced to about 20 years, then they would us the Law to make their decisions instead of politics.
The Supremed Court is pretty unbiased and they do take all sides pretty equally
jury is still out as to whom they are supporting the people or the people made laws
They don't have a good reputation anymore.
I THINK THE SUPREME COURT IS BECOMING MORE CONSERVATIVE AND LOOK AT THE POINT OF VIEW ABOUT ISSUES IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
Their reputation is strong as a whole, obviously some justices are less reputable than others but, that's why there's nine
The reputation of the supreme court is a farce and scam that anyone fully aware with evil intent can sit on the highest boards of law and sign off any unwanted and unnecessary laws
10% they have over turned too many cases that was already a law. They also take a lot of Dark money.
As opposed to what some leftists say, the Supreme Court is still following the law of the Constitution as it should. Even if you disagree with the outcomes of some cases we still need to abide by them or the result will be chaos.
Seems like they really don’t care about the average American citizen.
I just think they should have people in the Supreme Court that believe in the American People not Democrait vs Republican. This country is a MESS!!!!
when all the democrats are gone the sooner the better.
Democrats would say it is to conservative
That they are republicans and they are being completely influenced by the republicans. They have forgotten that they have to remain neutral for the good of the people not the politicians.
It used to be very terrible, ungodly and unconstitutional for many decades until thank the Lord President Trump was able to get 3 conservative justices in there. Praise the Lord. Thank you Jesus. GOD Bless President Trump.
To uphold the rule of law and also base it on Christian beliefs and not from outside or political influence.
From what I heard they are biased in some way but I'm not sure
I think that the Supreme Court should look very closely at what’s going on in the world and stop getting in peoples lives ,they should be looking at what’s going on in the world with the climax and terrorizim,the bomb,people that comes to this wonderful country to kill others and to try to control the weapons somehow.
They vote what they want to happen, not what the constitution requires.
In years past it has had a fairly good reputation, but the past few years that Trump was President, their good reputation has vanished into thin air.
Sometimes works on it's own political convenience
It showing citizen's that they are independent
I think the supreme court does not make good decisions on lots of political issues. They seem racist and out of touch with the real world.
Dishonest; Self-serving; Control issues and way too intrusive with women's rights and a decision that should be made by her, with her doctor, her husband, and her Higher Power, behind closed doors. The SC needs to stay out of people's right to be responsible for their decisions. They need to get to work within their own bench, then maybe they'd be able to work FOR the People and not PERSONAL gain.
rich bastards deciding how the rest of us are supposed to live
Most of them are DISASTERS. Because they are called Supreme Court Judges who do not answer to anyone, they make a shamble of things and thinks they are GODS. Most of them are out of touch with the real world especially the top judge, and the big black baboon whose white wife runs ring around him. The top judge have no power, he gave it to the one who said gay people should not marry, and the big black baboon. I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THEM. GOD is watching them, and he will act when the time is right.
I feel that overall they have a descent reputation. I feel that they are doing their job.
Right now the repetition of the supreme Court is not looking too good because information being leak that shouldn't been so there is no secrecy to make right decisions before the public knows so they can make the right decision without having any kind of pressure from the outside or politicians and also because taking women's right to be having abortion
i thimk they are doing the best they can
The Supreme Court is packed with conservatives and imposing laws opposed by the majority of citizens. It has low-caliber justices like Kavanaugh, Thomas and Gorsuch. Samuel Alito is a hard-right justice.
I believe the Supreme Court has a solid reputation.
A body that granted some fair laws in danger of being controlled by far right groups
Right now it is right leaning. We hope that the Supreme Court continues to base laws on the Constitution, rather than public opinion.
Conservatives, and moderates also privileged with no oversight
The Supreme Court is not what it used to be. I feel like in the past they were impartial and interpreted the law in a fair and democratic way. More recently I feel like that is definitely not the case any longer and that dirty politics have leached into the Supreme Court
It WAS a very well respected institution, in the past 5 years, it has become very political. I believe that some of the newest appointees are abusing their position and implementing their political and religious beliefs in their ruling. I feel there is huge disregard for rule of the land - The Constitution.
The current reputation of the supreme court is very poor. It seems to many that they are not ruling in favor of being equal or just, but rather conservatively. There should be no life service, and they should be made to retire at the federal retirement age, in order to keep the country moving forward and not backward.
I cant really say cuz i dont know enough about it. I dont regularly watch the news so i havent even heard much about it.
I think in cases regarding woman's rights or rights of minorities, (even though with minorities on the Court) they usually lean against women and minorities.
Far right Conservative radical based views with this authority majority!
They are not very Trustworthy and and people like me don't trust him.
nothing else to say that you actually download the app is
Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022)
National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius (2012)
The Supreme Court handles its responsibilities as a branch of the US Government very well, serving its mission as a check and balance of the Legislative and Executive branches. Overall, it has handled its duties more consistently without bias than the other branches. Serious mistakes, such as in the original Roe v Wade decision, are rare, especially when Constitution-minded justices make up the majority.
DOBBS VS JACKSON WOMEN ORGANIZATIONMENS HEALTH ORGANI
TINKER VS DES MOINES INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY
BEING THE HIGHEST COURT HAS A LOT OF IMPORTANT DECISONS TO MAKE WHETHER WE AGREE OR NOT WHATEVER DECISION IS MADE BY THE SUPREME STANDS FIRM.
IT’s reputation is that it’s too conservative. In reality, it leans liberal to moderate.
The current reputation is leaning toward conservative but the votes and decisions are mixed or challenged. The mostly conservatives are not appearing to be biased because some of the sitting judges are within the realm of what is being decided. Loving VS Wade would surely be something that would be personal to a few of the sitting judges there now.
the reputation has gone to crap over the last 6 yrs. it has gotten way to political. thomas is an embaressment and should be expelled from his seat.
The Supreme court should not continue to have the power to rule over how America relates to policies such as prayer in schools, Roe Wade etc. The nation is totally confused. Everybody wants Rights, Some rights are necessary but turning the world upside down?? You can-not please everyone but you must be fair. With Racial policies!!
Tarnished by conservative judges acting unethically
Democrats hate them, but they are making the right decisions according to the constitution
It's been tarnished recently, not just by the hasty appointments of Republican backed justices and endless delays of Democratic backed ones, but by the controversy surrounding Clarence Thomas.
Took several years to get Donald Trump in court.
The supreme court is to uphold the law and make decision for the people and not based on personal feeling.
Right now it has a conservative reputation. I hope it stays that way
It's not supposed to be political but they are sure trying to be with the leaks about the Dobbs decision
The reputation of any court system is that they are all flawed at best.
The reputation of the Supreme Court is always balanced precariously because it will anger one side or the other. There will always be someone unhappy with a Supreme Court decision no matter what it is. The Supreme Court is not as supreme as we think they should be.
I THINK IT IS GOOD, I BELIEVE THE LIBERALS AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE CREATING THIS DIVIDE THAT IS DESTROYING AMERICA
To make decisions based on the United States Constitution and other laws which coincide with it; sometimes certain justices create conflicts of interest; like when Ruth married some same sex couples and then a few days later voted on the issue in a 4-3 ruling.
They have been doing great things for our country until lately. We are now going back to the ice ages.
The Supreme Court has a long history of abuse of power, and it needs checks and balances including term limits and punishments.
Very poor. I am so glad I am already in menopause.
not sure i don't usually pay attention to some of things talk about of the supreme court
Regents of the University of California vs Bakke
Worcester vs Georgia Dred Scott vs Sandford
The Supreme Court has a well defined reputation in the United States of America
the supreme court is a respective court and should governor accourding, but the supreme court do not, they are not for the people every decision they made were personals. not for the people it were there belief
It’s the last place u can go to have something taken care of
Sometimes I think that they don't understand what people think or want
The courts influence is being undermined by the Biden administration, calling sitting justice,s illegitimate thereby destroying the courts influence and reputation.
I don’t think I know enough to be able to critique the Supreme Court
Right now very partisan and corrupt. There are justices attending political functions and accepting bribes from big money donors. The list few justices lied during their confirmation just to get a lifetime appointment and they are now out of step with the majority of Americans on the important issues.
It's the apex court and it's decisions are always seen as the best and uncontestable but of course there are few circumstances that has seriously questioned the integrity of the court
Unfortunately, the liberal sect of the Court veers away from the constitution, and makes up its own rules, overruling congress. We need constitutional jurors, which in most cases, are nominated by conservatives.
They work on their own accord, not recognizing opinions of others.
From my perspective, the Supreme Court is shooting for a very backwards way of thinking. Almost ignorant, we are regressing as a country instead of focusing on future technology to create a more diverse inclusive country..they are creating division.
I feel that they are really looking into the way the constitution works with some laws
The reputation of the SC is of a liberal stance. Why in the world would they overturn a court ruled Roe v Wade court decision, if they weren't liberals.
Conservative leaning, but not overly right wing
The current Supreme Court is very conservative, so the Democrat-led presidents need to appoint more liberal judges.
It was well respected at one time, but not any longer.
Highest court. Respectable, should do was best for the county, when making a decision. It’s supposed to be fair.
The court is too conservative stacked in Republicans favor, gop want more Trump appointment types. Supreme Court has too freaking much power. There is too much corruption in the US Supreme Court.
Not allowing individuals to have freedom of speech
To do what is right and make sure people are treated fairly.
The reputation of the supreme court so far is very mixed. There are differentiating opinions from all of the judges and i believe when roe v wade was overturned, a lot of people in general turned on the supreme court.
Currently I think the Supreme Court's reputation is one of Rights suppression, bigotry, and corporate overrun.
Forever appointment cannot be removed and very much privileged people and we are low people
Not so good they have become too soft and acomodated as we have done as a society
Terrible. It has become corrupt and subject to pressure from conservative politicians pushing their agenda.
Interested in the country and the affairs of its citizens, it is excellent
It has a reputation of being conservative leaning, although it is not
They are still very divided, and that definitely needs to change.
A very archaic institution that is often used to obstruct social change when held in control of the conservatives.
i don't believe that they do everything right but who am i to say
I’m not sure. I don’t pay enough attention to rate their reputation
They are the highest court in the land. The Supreme Court decisions are extremely important.
To make the final ,very final judgement on important cases. Most are usually wrong though.
The Supreme Court is the highest court in our nation for a reason. If we didn’t have said court in would take our country into chaos. The rule on cases that either can’t be decided in lower courts or were decide but disagreed with by the losing party. I think the Supreme Court is a vital part of the American justice system
It is my belief that the Supreme Court has an impeccable reputation even though there are decisions I personally disagree.
Descrmination between 18 year old children
It have power to make sure that the law of the country prevail and protect the security of our country
We need the base ourselves on what we have in United States of America because these people that came to this country as a refuge and now they come into Supreme Court to serve whatever time they have to we need to use that to our advantage as United States American citizens which I am also from another country too but I have been here 30 years and this is my country so we need to focus on the people that's coming from other countries for rescue in USA because that's the only stronghold we will have because United States of America has varies of countries and we are just blessed all with it .🙏
Not firm. I’m some rulings are done with public opinion is weighted.
Political appointees without the exercising of the true interest of the constitution
Up to this point the Supreme Court in my opinion they have done a great job
The reputation of the Supreme Court depends largely on political views, but I would say my view on the Court is slowly improving.
I mean, I don't expect them to do anything that actually helps anyone after they overturned Roe v Wade lol
They have upheld the laws in a decent way
Battered but largely intact. So long as they remain faithful to the US Constitution America will back them
I'm not very interested in the reputation of the Supreme Court therefore, I cannot give a fair analysis.
Lean on personal opinion more than the law
still waiting to see , havent decided yet
Not very good, they have been some issues that make me wonder also the rule of law ( every one must follow the law) in the last few years is not this way very disappointed specially when a supreme judge doesn’t think he has to disclosure his luxury life donated by megadonor. In my opinion is shame
Upholding the rights and freedoms of the American people
They are doing they're job and what they need to
the past couple of years the reputation of the supreme court has gone down just like the rest of the government has, they work for the people an some where along the lines they forgot that.
I think people have a skewed view of the Supreme Court and tend to politicize the justices more than I like (including the conservative ones) rather than looking at the substance of their decisions. They’re there to uphold and interpret the constitution and I think their job should be defined as that very narrowly, they shouldn’t be making decisions for political points. I also think the withholding of Obama’s pick was disgusting and the amount of picks that trump got was unfortunate. That being said once they’re a Supreme Court justice they should be trusted to do their job and do it as they see fit.
The Supreme Court has a tarnished reputation. The Supreme Court is biased.
Terrible and every time I hear about another one of their decisions it usually makes me want to jump off a cliff and move to Mexico
I think Supreme Court are doing good job
Not sure. I don't have enough knowledge of the Supreme Court to comment.
I believe the Supreme Court to be an extremely respectable institution. But I believe it should be changed to add term limits, along with move regulations to the credentials of the candidates who can be elected onto the committee.
It's awful and sad because of the decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade.
I agree with some things the Supreme Court does and some things I don't.
A lot of lazy liars that don't know what's happening in our world
A bad one. Making decisions that affects the whole country. We are not in 1940
Partisan. Bought and paid for by special interest groups. Religious zealots trying to force their beliefs on all of us. Un-American. Anti-Democracy. Some are sexual predators. Some are married to traitors. Some are racists. LIARS. Some should be in jail for perjury.
Terrible............ Should be dismantled and re-assembled under new guide lines.
I think it is fair. It doesn't always favor one side.
I think some orders passed down by the supreme court is fair and some are not.
It is conservative and their reputation is in serious question, especially with Clearance Thomas having accepted lavish gifts from aGOP donor.
I would say that it is getting one sided liberal
The supreme court is the final decision maker in many cases, weather I agree or not, they know the law far better than I do. I they have a good reputation
they tend to agree with blacks and homosexual's .
I feel they have over stepped their boundaries and I don't know why they feel overturning all these already been voted on and all these years later they would start up all these again
Too many leftists on the Supreme Court use ideologies instead of the constitution.
The supreme court’s reputation is unique
it is a fashest right wing overbearing out of touch insatushan and needs reform
The reputation is that they are the end of the line, in that I mean they are the last and final decision.
The majority of the current court is, for the most part, originalist. They try to interpret the Constitution as they believe it was written, not trying to find loopholes in the text where they can make language that doesn't apply, apply.
SCOTUS' reputation is as an arbiter of the laws and interpreter of the Constitution. Until recently, I would say that the justices have been seen as insulated from the everyday of politics in the US. However, since the failed confirmation of Robert Bork, the court has descended into partisan politics as part of the nominations to and operations of the court.
The Supreme Court has a prestigious reputation at this time.
Very poor right now. Too biased towards democrats
They're very conservative and are NOT open to any liberal ideals.
at this point the Supreme Court's reputation is kind of low
The "final say"/last resort "when it comes to judgement
Not a high opinion at the moment. These are supposed to be people that are constitutional scholars yet they more often than not let politics and/or coercion to influence their decisions. Electing a judge who had the majority of her cases overturned due to constitutional violations is a direct slap to the rule of law and fairness and wholly embraces political partisanship.
I don’t pay attention to it myself. Others only talk about negative things.
Current court not to bad, Historically I think the court has overstepped it's authority. But that is humans in general
I used to think they were loyal to their laws and beliefs. I think now they’re government controlled
They do not have a good reputation I feel there are justices who don't belong on the court because of merit or for the fact that they have tended to disregard the rules.
Regent of the university of California v.Bakke case 1978
Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission
It's not perfect, but it's far better than the Korean legal courts.
very one sided and not enough blacks on the supreme court
Good reputation, work sincerely and wish the best for everyone .
Mediocre at best. Allthough they should be unbiased, they are politically influenced.
Its reputation is dependent on its currently seated Justices, I am in favor of the current more conservative-leaning Court.
The reputation of the Supreme Court has gone downhill fast . There have been too many issues with judge Clarence Thompson and his wife Virginia and as recent as last week when it became known that this judge has been leading a life of luxury while it was never reported. There were issues with the appointment of judge Kavanaugh when his past about sexual misconduct was being white washed. The majority of these judges are too conservative and we seem to be going backwards with the over ruling of Roe vs Wade.
I think they have a hard job. Most important thing for them to do is to insure that they are obiding the constitution. We are a constitution republic not a democracy and people need to understand the difference.
In the past the Supreme Court has had an excellent reputation but excluded the more recent elected judge their reputation is should be questioned
It should ban a lot of these unnecessary laws.
My opinion abaut the Supreme Court is that in the most of cases do good work
It's nothing more than an outdated dumpster fire. The Supreme Court in its current form is tainted and is in dire need of being abolished.
Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization
I feel that the Supreme Court is divided. They need to look more at the bigger picture and think of the overall outcome and leave their personal feelings aside.
It's very biased they lean heavily to the Republicans
The highest authority and mostly revered.
It supports the rights of some things that is lawful for the peoples of the United States.
They are trying to extend the borders of the law.
I think the court had a good reputation before the current make up. I think the current court had badly tarnished its reputation. It now appears to feel it has the right to make laws that effect political change based on the beliefs of its members.
As long as the Supreme Court looks to the Constitution and doesn't try to create law it has a good reputation.
The majority are Trump supporters! Not trustworthy.
They're currently failing in my opinion on certain matters. Over turning Roe vs. Wade has made me lose all faith in our Supreme Court system. They have given me the impression that they will continue to take away important rights that have already been established. Such as gay marriage and rights to birth control. I think personal opinion and religion is now the driving force. Not law, not what the majority of the people want, but for their own selfish reasons. I also believe they are bribed with money to rule a certain way over large cases.
The reputation of the supreme court is just and right in their decisions
The Supreme Court is outdated. It is to bias and opinionated.
Did should always go for the right thing
generally fair in most of there rulings..
To upheld the constitution, but it has become a joke.
The Court will hear cases to resolve a conflict of law
for most part unbiased, although that seems to be changing
Supreme Court is probitly the last group in govenerment the does have a good rep. (Other than the LEAK)
The have become an activist court. A bunch of kept men and women by the wealthy in America.
They have a good reputation for deciding what is right
I think it is viewed as too conservative but I personally don't think it is
For the most part they have a positive reputation. It has only been through recent events that the reputation has come into question.
make sure new laws and regulations are constitutional
Uphold the laws of the land through judicial review.
I think supreme court is have the highest order....they have to keep upright to maintain good reputation
He has a great reputation for enforcing the law.
The Court is the highest tribunal in the Nation for all cases and controversies arising under the Constitution or the laws of the United States
The Court is the highest tribunal in the Nation for all cases and controversies arising under the Constitution or the laws of the United States. As the final arbiter of the law, the Court is charged with ensuring the American people the promise of equal justice under law and, thereby, also functions as guardian and interpreter of the Constitution.
Not good. A majority bunch of old white men who are out of touch and are in politicians pockets. They should have age and term limits.
Since the supreme court did not hear the 2020 election fraud, I have little faith in any of them.
The Supreme Court takes on hard to decide cases and has the final say in any matter they take on.
Currently, one that cannot be trusted to protect the people it serves.
Just like everything else, White owned and operated.
I think their reputation is now tarnished. The court seems far too political now.
The highest court in the land on the last of decision making.
Not good at all they are not fair and it should be a better supreme Court.
The majority are very conservative and stubborn, no open minds, seems they're still living in the inquisition times.
Reputation of the supreme court is great
Overpowered with no idea how the common person thinks
Democrats think they are great & Republicans not so much
Not very good since the last few years where judges that did not deserved to be there were sworn in. People like Clarence Thomas an Brett Kavanauhg who are dishonest and corrupt and people like Amy Coney Barrett who is extremely bias towards a Christian conservative stands. After hearing their answers during their testimonies Ai could not believe they were chosen to serve.
Not doing a fair job they were paid to do
Currently very biased. Many recent judges lied during their appointment hearings
I feel they want to provide a mind of the road decission to have to have both sides win some and loss some
Joe Biden taking classic doctuments out of the White House
Too many judges are not pleased with the democratic party..
Favorable but can sway to people of power
The past reputation of the Supreme Court in my opinion was pretty much fair but ever since Donald Trump put his justices in the Supreme Court I’ve come to question whether or not they are more motivated by politics, and which political side they are on than they are in keeping the law and ruling case things justly!
The Supreme Court is always going to be judged harshly depending on where one stands take a side
Has been more liberal, they need to interpret the constitution
it is currently acting as an untangling of laws that took decades to be put in
No. I'am responsable the words. For myself.
Is to unite the nation and work with the people
It's starting to infringe on peoples rights in my opinion
In the past several years, going back to its interference in the 2000 election, the Supreme Court has increasingly become less legitimate as it has overstepped its authority and imposed itself in the political process and imposed the moral opinion of members of the Court in the judicial process to reach their desired result. One of the most shameful examples being the discovery of an advisory opinion by some members of the Court prior to overturning Roe.
It’s sometimes little more like politics
The supreme Court is fair and impartial.
