US Supreme Court perceived as increasingly political | DW News
America's highest court is facing a credibility crisis. According to the latest survey, public trust in the Supreme Court is at its lowest in decades. It's a public image problem that could become America's next test for Democracy.

It's not a perception it's an observation. What's more, there are four justices who lied during their confirmation hearing and justices who have received gifts and benefits from those who are presenting cases.

Where did you think Bibi got his recent idea from…..hello 🙄
Their court might have at one one point been independent maybe in the 70s but not since then. In the land of the not so free (very few exceptions), with lifetime appointments. What did they expect when you give people zero accountability, indefinitely job secure until, they die or choose too leave, not elected too office either I believe American's would call that a hand out which they're supposed to frown upon. No other country, on the planet has lifetime appointments and zero legal accountability generally not seen as democratic in a developed country. Ruth bader Ginsburg "I prefer other countries constitutions over the USA constitution since, they're newer, countries update and amend them to current day not focus on what was intended in a specific year by only men they're not afraid, of acknowledging that their constitution is either outdated or needs amending".

Never have any long-term plan for the benefit of the people. Now U$A itself is not a democracy it's a corporate autocracy ruled by the big corporates.

Well, like in every country where the members of the Supreme Court are appointed by a seating President, the public can't be sure that the Supreme Court is politically isolated, especially in the US where every appointment needs to be confirmed by the Commission on Appointments, which is composed of politicians.
The SCOTUS has to much power but it hasn't always been like this - The Supreme Court Is Not Supposed to Have This Much Power
How is following the Constitution? They are doing what they are suppose to do, insure all laws follow the Constitution.
The law of the land is gone.
I agree and that goes back to how Senator McConnell stole the seat and then hypocritically did the opposite when he had a similar situation.
Hilarious. For about 40 or 50 years, the Supreme Court has been primarily making Liberal decisions and now there’s a couple Conservative decisions have been rented. All of a sudden it’s too political. Give me a freaking break.

The item may have achieved balance if it had questioned why and by whom the claims are being made about the alleged politicisation of the Supreme Court.
Is SCOTUS political because conservatives have a majority? Would it be political if liberals had a majority? That's what I'd like to know. SCOTUS doesn't always make decisions I agree with, but that's how it always is with the courts in this country.

Reality has a liberal bias.
Sadly, it is the fact!
It did not strip women from having the right to an abortion, it gave the states the right to decide for themselves.
Many of us refer to our once highly respected court as the ‘UnSupreme’ Court 🇺🇸 Many of the court’s decisions are going to be completely ignored !
Seems that the job security of a lifetime term does not provide adequate comfort to rule against the person that nominated them.
She chooses to be biased. So many untruths spoken and DW did not challenge them.
Also, in the Roman senate, which our government is founded on, when a politician was convicted, ALL their appointees and any laws they passed became null and void. I say we do the same.

US Supreme Court designed as political
Non-lawyers usually have misinformed opinions on court rulings because they don’t read court judgments nor are they able to understand them. How politicised a court is is revealed by examining how the court reasons based on the facts and law relevant to each case. But of course that is too much work for most people who just care about their political position being favoured or not.

We have a court that just ruled that despite a law giving the president and secretary of education the power to "waive or modify" student loans, neither could waive or modify them without congress first passing another law that says the exact same thing.

Ats the dems and liberals viewpoint.
Many have criticised the race-based selection processes but this is no mentioned in the commentary thus suggesting that it was politically motivated when in fact the practises were themselves discriminatory.
This was a garbage segment. Roe vs Wade was pushed down to the state level where it belonged. Democrats had lots of opportunities to codify Roe vs Wade over the last 40 years but they didn’t because it was always a political issue they could fall back on during elections. I support a woman’s choice but I’m done with the Democrats.

DW -- Deutsche Woke, it's like MSNBC but in German.
Slippery slope. The judiciary and religion was supposed to be independent of the state. Core value of democracy established in 1776.
Democracy cannot live without political group voicing their concerns. It is a good sign that the Supreme Court is voicing its opinion as a sign of democracy. Free speech definitely applies to the Supreme Court.
And any fair-minded person who looks for balance and even-handedness in journalism will have little confidence in DW's reporting.

Supreme court shouldn't require people to appeal anything, this puts the poverty classes in a state of no justice. All orders ever issued by a judge should automatically be reviewed by supreme courts, with all evidence, transcripts, testimony and all files related to a persons, and their children's, social security numbers and medical records, automatically. The state of current affairs is a gross reflection of injustice. We the people needs to demand rights and the most important priority should always be children. Not reviewing the findings on a microscopic level gives too much power to corrupt lawyers, officers and judges. They were meant to work for the people not to torment the people and with the vast amounts of corruption unfolding everyday, how is this not seen? All court records need to be made easily accessible to the public, all of them. There should be various forms of probono attorneys to all regions, leaving a large range of populace without representation, fair and equal, is a serious injustice that should not be ignored. All lawyers should have a superior that reviews all of their work, and all of the communication between them and their clientele.

Err, no.
No hint of objectivity in this - the court's rulings are honest interpretations of the US Constitution. The general ignorance demonstrated in this is scary. Almost all modern democracies have some form of constitution / charter of rights that makes it so that, unlike like ancient dysonfunctional Greek democracies, the whim of the majority can not undermine basic civil rights.
I think SCOTUS is doing it's job. If anything it needs to issue bench warrants for crazy Governors and Judges who keep breaking laws with impunity without consequences.
Working as was designed by the founding fathers, well except for the three political hacks.

There are a record 5 Supreme Court justices in the court today who were put in place by presidents who did not win the popular vote in US elections (2 by George W. Bush after the 2000 election and 3 by Trump after the 2016 election). Minority rule will never restore faith in institutions. Lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court lead to no accountability and should be ended; this is the single biggest problem.
