Five years earlier in September 2018, 51 percent said they approved of the court, while 40 percent said they disapproved.

Eddins, appointed to Hawaii's highest court by former Democratic Governor David Ige in 2020, has been critical of some of the court's rulings in his legal opinions. He has been critical of the court's conservative justices' "originalist" interpretation of the law, particularly in his ruling State v.
