The American people do not have confidence in the Roberts Court.
Only 21% say they have "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in the Court; 79% say they have "very little" or only "some" confidence. (Economist/YouGov, n=1623)

"[T]wo voting rights groups are sounding the alarm, warning that eliminating Section 2, a provision that prohibits racial gerrymandering when it dilutes minority voting power, would let Republicans redraw up to 19 House seats to favor the party and crush minority representation in Congress."
Republicans could draw 19 more House seats after an upcoming Supreme Court ruling
Many experts are forecasting the end of a key provision of election law — enabling Republicans to shore up their advantage in the House, according to a new report.

![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 25A264 (25-332)
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, ET AL. v. REBECCA KELLY SLAUGHTER,
ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[September 22, 2025]
The application for stay presented to THE CHIEF JUSTICE
and by him referred to the Court is granted. The July 17,
2025 order of the United States District Court for the Dis-
trict of Columbia, No. 25–cv–909, ECF Doc. 52, is stayed.
The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of cer-
tiorari before judgment, and the petition is granted. The
parties are directed to brief and argue the following ques-
tions: (1) Whether the statutory removal protections for
members of the Federal Trade Commission violate the sep-
aration of powers and, if so, whether Humphrey’s Executor
v. United States, 295 U. S. 602 (1935), should be overruled.
(2) Whether a federal court may prevent a person’s removal
from public office, either through relief at equity or at law.
The Clerk is directed to establish a briefing schedule that
will allow the case to be argued in the December 2025 ar-
gument session. The stay shall terminate upon the sending
down of the judgment of this Court.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreicbgkc2ui5dfvzvgdmmkptcrakpe55khpn6gqklda6yhhnji3d4sy@jpeg)
