A new poll reveals Americans are saying to Congress, in no uncertain terms, to leave the nation’s Supreme Court alone.
“Americans clearly reject the manufactured attacks on the integrity of Justices and radical attempts to delegitimize the court,” said Kelly Shackelford, chief of First Liberty.
“Americans understand that if the politically motivated efforts to restructure our judicial system works, judges will lose their ability to enforce the rule of law with impartiality, and the last safeguard to our civil liberties will be gone. The message of the American people to Congress couldn’t be clearer: leave the court alone.”

The poll, conducted by Mason-Dixon of registered voters nationwide May 30-June 2, suggested 91 percent of Americans believe an independent judiciary is a crucial safeguard of our civil liberties.
In addition, 68% of all respondents oppose court packing, a number consistent with previous polls. Importantly, self-identified independent voters overwhelmingly reject plans to pack the court (66% opposed).
Officials with First Liberty had commissioned the poll of 1,100 registered voters.
The margin for error was no more than plus or minus three percentage points, meaning “there is a 95% probability that the ‘true’ figure would fall within that range.”
