A new Gallup poll shows a sharp decline in confidence in the U.S. judicial system.

Frida Ghitis : A quarter of Americans would not be "bothered at all" if the president suspended some "laws and constitutional provisions" She says the rule of law can only survive if the people have faith in the courts and the rule is respected.

Ghitis asks: Why does the United States find itself in this grim situation?.

Six in 10 Americans now say that "politics, not law" explains Supreme Court decisions, says Amherst Sarat .

Sarat : Judges' political affiliations can be used as a predictive tool for decision outcomes in 92% of the circuit court decisions studied.

He says we can call on judges at every level of the court system to stop digging the hole any deeper.
