Americans have more confidence in the Supreme Court than they do in the other two branches of government, according to a new and wide-ranging national survey about the court by the Marquette University Law School. As reported in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the survey finds that 57% of those polled say they trust the Supreme Court the most of the three branches, compared to 21% who chose the presidency and 22% who chose Congress. Respondents did not favor expanding the court, but do say they support establishing fixed terms instead of lifetime appointments.
