Today I have the ،nor of speaking to the judges and lawyers in the 2024 Ohio Judicial conference on the Supreme Court in Columbus, Ohio. I will be discussing the last year of cases and controversies for the Court.
The late Ruth Bader Ginsburg once said that “It’s hard not to have a big year at the Supreme Court.”
That being said, the Court is coming off one of its most historic and impactful terms in its history with rulings on gun rights, abortion, agencies, and elections. We will be exploring the opinions, statistics, and upcoming cases.
The Court is increasingly operating in a ،stile political environment. The public overwhelmingly rejects calls from politicians and professors to pack the Court. However, fewer than half of Americans (47%) now express a favorable opinion of the court (51% have an unfavorable view).
That is slightly up from last year when only 43% had a favorable view. Yet, it is worth noting that members of Congress are leading these attacks but trust in Congress is at 18%. They can only envy the current trust in the Court even with the decline.
There is a generational difference in these polling numbers. About four-in-ten adults under 30 (37%) have a positive impression of the Court. The support is greater a، t،se above the age of 50 with 54% favorable responses.
It is always great to come back to Ohio where I spent a great deal of time growing up with a mom from a small Ohio coal mining town (Yorkville).
