Is the Supreme Court Biased or is our perception? Perhaps both???
And just WTF is WRONG with the dumba** author of this study that they can't SEE what's wrong?
When did Scientific American go over to the DARK SIDE?????????

...no matter how objective they are (or try to be), their calls are always going to seem like they’re against you. This overperception of bias against our own side (and underperception of bias against our rivals) is referred to as selective perception, sometimes referred to specifically as the hostile media phenomenon if it refers to an oversensitive perception of bias in the media.
<snip>
We can see the hostile media phenomenon at work in this most recent Pew Research Center’s study, which asked Americans to report how they construe the current Supreme Court. As you can see in the table on the left (reproduced from the Pew Center’s report), only 9% of conservative Republicans see the Supreme Court as being “conservative” like they are, whereas a full 48% of liberal Democrats think that SCOTUS has a clear right-leaning bias. On the other hand, 45% of the conservative Republicans are quick to call the Supreme Court “liberal,” as opposed to the mere 15% of liberal Democrats who are willing to say the same.
Long story short, if you’re a conservative, it’s painfully apparent that the Supreme Court has a strong liberal bias. If you’re a liberal, on the other hand, the Roberts court is obviously unfairly conservative.

not at the moment, anyway, HereSince, because as an attorney I'm often irritated/angered/upset at the perceptions of others about legal matters. I think I'll leave it there.
