The above assumes good faith and a lack of political agenda, which is not likely to be the case for the current Supreme Court.

  With Supreme Court, I assume good faith. I haven't seen anything to the contrary; differences in values and opinions -- even ones I strongly disagree with -- aren't the same as a lack of good faith. As for lack of political agenda, the Supreme Court may be more polarized than it has ever been (at least in my lifetime), but it's worth looking in context: it's one of three branches. As has always been the case in US history, it still has much less of a political agenda than either of the other two branches. - If you're on the left, who seems most reasonable: Donald Trump, Kevin McCarthy, or the most anti-left member of the Supreme Court? - If you're on the right, you can do the same exercise with Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and the most anti-right member of the Supreme Court. I have read many Supreme Court rulings I strongly disagreed with and which didn't reflect my values, but I've never read any which felt stupid, corrupt, or done in bad faith. That contrasts with legislative and executive completely.

    > With Supreme Court, I assume good faith. I haven't seen anything to the contrary Really? You haven't seen anything to the contrary? You haven't seen a supreme court justice being literally bribed for decades? You didn't see three recent supreme court appointees lie to congress?
