Americans Reject Congressional Efforts to Impose “Ethics Reform” on Judiciary
Poll commissioned by First Liberty Institute finds Americans support judicial independence, oppose restructuring of Court and attacks on integrity, ethics of Justices.
Washington, DC—First Liberty Institute today announced the results of a nationwide poll from Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy revealing 87 percent of Americans believe that an independent judiciary is crucial to our civil liberties and 57 percent believe that Congress forcing ethics reform on the Supreme Court threatens that independence. First Liberty, the nation’s premier law firm dedicated exclusively to religious liberty, commissioned the poll.

“Americans clearly understand that the independence of the judiciary is critical to their freedoms and that politically motivated so-called ‘reform’ threatens judicial independence,” said Kelly Shackelford, President, CEO, and Chief Counsel at First Liberty Institute. “Any attempted power grab by Congress to control the Supreme Court would put all our freedoms in jeopardy. Despite the relentless attacks by the left, Americans want Congress to mind its own business and leave the courts alone.”
The poll, conducted of likely voters nationwide August 12-15, also found that 59 percent of Americans oppose expanding the court, or “court packing.” Sixty-three percent of those polled oppose recent politically motivated attacks on the Supreme Court.
