Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : "There was so much backlash, the polls really showed the approval ratings for the court are the lowest ever, and I think a lot of people thought, 'OK, this branch of government has become really political -- especially so with abortion,'" Suter said.
41% : "The ruling is not going to be about the future of abortion in the United States," Seidman said.
38% : "They're trying to figure out a way to do whatever they want to do -- which is probably restrict abortion further ... but get the Texas case to go away somehow," Graber said.
36% : "If we get five or even six justices voting to let litigation proceed against S.B. 8, it's not going to be because this involves abortion, it's going to be despite the fact it involves abortion," Sepper said.
33% : They can say "we're not simply a Republican court -- yes, we restrict abortion further, but look we killed Texas on neutral grounds," Graber said.
