Only 35% of Americans trust the US judicial system. This is catastrophic | David Daley

According to a new Gallup poll, Americans have a historic lack of trust in the courts, says Julian Zelizer .

Zelizer: The US supreme court has been hijacked by the extreme right and corrupted to its core.

The court’s conservative supermajority hands down deeply unpopular decisions that take away long-settled rights, concentrate power for themselves and their friends and grease the electoral rails for their party.

The Roberts court has granted Trump unprecedented power in his second term thanks to its decision in his immunity case.

Those new powers will come with virtually no accountability.

The right’s near-complete capture of the federal judiciary has ensured that it will remain in charge for decades to come.
