American confidence in the courts has hit a record low across party lines. This is worrying – if not surprising

Summary

Trust in the U.S. judicial system has hit a record low, with only 35% of Americans expressing confidence, according to Gallup.

Criticism centers on the Supreme Court’s conservative majority, accused of advancing right-wing agendas, eroding rights like abortion access, and lacking accountability.

This judicial capture, orchestrated by conservative groups like the Federalist Society, ensures Republican dominance in key policies for decades, regardless of future elections.

    yeah, different parties. But Luigi appeals to both party’s constituents, so during his prosecution the judiciary is at an extra disadvantage. I imagine the government will try to use some sort of secret closed to the public terrorism court for this so they can eliminate the trial of his peers aspect of it. I’d bet real money on it right now, actually

      That’s my concern and my guess as to why he’s been charged with terrorism.

      I was trying to understand why they laid a terrorism charge, since it raises Luigi’s profile when obviously they want to sweep him under the rug. I think you’re on to something here.
