The nation’s loss of Confidence in the court is due to the law yesterday changing this morning putting our nation 50 years into the past, all while going against all previous precedent, against the new judges testimony prior to confirmation(meaning at least 3 judges lied to get on the court), and the uncertainty that additional laws will change on the whim of religious fundamentalism, laws that our nation was built upon like separation of church and state, that we have been taking for granted.
If laws were changed due to new information and were consistent with other laws regulating things like shutting down life support for brain dead adults when compared to abortion, I doubt the SCOTUS would have lost the confidence of the nation.

It should be noted that a court not friendly to human rights and the separation of church and state is not merely against the Democrats, but all Americans.

No, it’s rather the raw power grab and blatant disregard for our institutions or common sense that is clear to most people.
This Supreme Court is blatantly corrupt.
With modern polarization, "confidence" actually seems to mean "confidence I'll get the result I want from it" (e.g. how ideologically aligned it is to me).
