Murray: The Supreme Court has never been more unpopular. The public has kind of had it with this Court. And that’s kind of the Court’s fault. The Chief Justice is going on like, “People are just mad about our decisions, but our decisions aren’t political.”

Analysis Summary
Supreme Court approval is at historic lows — Gallup and Pew showed the Court around 33-40% approval in 2024-2025. The Court has faced significant controversy over recent rulings on immigration and asylum limits, with critics arguing these decisions align with the Trump administration's positions, while supporters dispute that characterization. The exact quote attributed to Chief Justice Roberts could not be verified from available sources. Public confidence in the Court has collapsed, though people disagree sharply about whether recent decisions caused that decline or reflect deeper concerns about the institution itself.
Claims Analysis (3)
“The Supreme Court has never been more unpopular.”
Court approval has declined significantly. Gallup and Pew surveys in 2024-2025 showed historic lows (around 33-40% approval), though 'never' is difficult to verify across all history.
“The Chief Justice says people are just mad about our decisions, but our decisions aren't political.”
No exact quote found matching this phrasing. Roberts has defended Court independence in general terms, but this specific quote cannot be independently located.
“The Supreme Court's recent decisions look political.”
This is commentary/analysis. Recent rulings (TPS case, asylum limits, pesticide labeling) have drawn criticism from progressives as politically aligned with Trump administration positions, per AP and CNN reporting.
