Chief Justice John Roberts has an approval rating

[RickHworth]

I cannot be the only one that must take a step back to come to the realization that a sitting judge on the Supreme Court, has an approval rating. Much less, that it is a positive one, to boot.
What the who ha?
This is the same judge that allowed the evisceration of the Voting Rights Act, with his blessing and gleeful approval?
The same over the removal of the right of privacy of a woman and her health issues and most definitely does not believe the 14th amendment applies to any female.
The bigger issue that is a cause for alarm, is the simple notion that our Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, has an approval rating.
Someone smarter than me can please tell me that this is not something that belongs exclusively to a fascist or authoritarian government system.

1. Roberts

Strange times when Roberts is considered a swing vote, but here we are.

2. Do you know what an approval rating is?

It’s simply a measure of how folks respond when asked about how they view a particular person or thing.

How could a public figure NOT have an approval rating? Are you saying that folks shouldn’t be asked whether or not they approve of Roberts? Or if they are asked, they should not answer?

You’ll be shocked to learn that before her death, Ruth Bader Ginsburg also had an approval rating.

3. And the fact that Roberts has a positive approval rating among Democrats

Demonstrates clearly the rot that has infested our party, which needs to be purged out immediately.

4. They're all corrupt. Why should we put any importance on how they rate each other?

5. I approve of Chief Justice Roberts in part because of this speech:

6. He's seen as less partisan than others

Americans will typically give a favorable rating to someone they don't perceive as being overtly on the other side.

Of course, as Democrats, we'll have a dimmer view. Citizens United, the Voting Rights Act, etc. But the public also sees that he saved the ACA. And he frequently speaks out against partisanship, particularly taking slaps at Trump.

Since he's not perceived as super radical one way or another, people are content to generally just not think of him over much.

7. Well

Elie Mystal has a lot to say about dat. See his rant on 'All In', where he essentially sez, what planet are you folks living on?

8. A pineapple can have an approval rating if one polls the public

I dont find it remarkable
