Between 2006 and 2020, Americans’ perceptions of their courts were most often in line with the median for OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries, with a majority in each typically expressing confidence.
Since 2020, confidence in the courts across the other OECD countries has been stable, while the U.S. has seen a sharp decline – 24 percentage points – in the past four years. The resulting 20-point gap in confidence between the U.S. and the median of OECD nations in 2024 is the largest in the Gallup trend, which dates to 2006.

Kind of surprising, but I guess whatever “sentence” he gets is immediately quashed somehow?
Ahh it turns out the judge has already committed to an unconditional discharge. So the whole thing is utterly pointless and there are no actual consequences, but there’s still a precedent for convicting future dem presidents of crimes against humanity when they increase the minimum wage by a dollar. Cute!

Trump called the wrong judge. Alito was already in the bag. Should have gone with Barrett or Roberts. Hopefully Merchan gives him a stern lecture before pronouncing sentence.
Ah yes, a strong verbal reprimand is a BIG step up from a sternly written Admonishment.
