Americans are divided on major issues that the U.S. Supreme Court is due to rule on in the coming weeks, but most agree on one thing - neither Republicans nor Democrats see the nation's top judicial body as politically neutral, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Just 20% of respondents to the poll agreed that the Supreme Court is politically neutral while 58% disagreed and the rest either said they did not know or did not respond. Among people who described themselves as Democrats, only 10% agreed it was politically neutral and 74% disagreed, while among Republicans 29% agreed and 54% disagreed.

That's because they're not. They gave up on pretending to be politically neutral a while ago.

    Nah, really? Which is why stacking courts is a thing that matters? Shocking.

    A panel of judges where some are openly accepting bribes isn't seen as neutral? Who'd a thunk it.
