WASHINGTON - The revelation of a Supreme Court draft opinion that would overrule Roe v Wade has caused many Americans to express doubts about whether the justices are guided by the law rather than by

their political beliefs.

Jenny Doyle, a neonatal nurse practitioner and mother of two in Boulder, Colorado, was so distressed by the Roe news that she considered whether she should leave the country."I think Iceland sounds good," she said."I absolutely believe in a term limit on the Supreme Court," she said of justices who can choose to serve until they die."They are losing touch with the real America and the real issues of Americans.

"What the leak and the draft have in common," he said,"is a disregard for the legal and public legitimacy of the court - and a failure to register that the justices and their clerks are temporary occupants of an institution that is greater than themselves." Nicole Lamarche, pastor of Community United Church of Christ in Boulder, said Tuesday that she traced her disillusionment to the Republican senators' blockade of Obama's Supreme Court nominee after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016.

For decades, Americans have told pollsters roughly 2-1 that they support a constitutional right to abortion; as recently as last week, in a Washington Post-ABC News poll, 54 per cent of Americans said Roe should be upheld, compared with 28 per cent who wanted justices to reverse it.
