Americans unhappy with the Supremes
A new Pew Research poll finds the public becoming more and more unhappy with the Supreme Court, which has reached a quarter-century low in favorability ratings.
Just wait until they destroy Health Care Reform with a 5-4 vote .. and in the process toss out the other reforms that are now helping millions of working-class Americans. Let's see how much the American populace likes the Supremes then.
"Unlike evaluations over much of the past decade, there is very little partisan divide. The court receives relatively low favorable ratings from Republicans, Democrats and independents alike. ...
... In April 2009, soon after Barack Obama took office, 70% of Republicans, 63% of Democrats, and 64% of independents held a favorable opinion of the court. ..."
This is what you get when you pack the judicial branch with partisan hacks who are supposed to defend the people against corporate interests .. I ain't too happy with the lower courts, either, and for the same reason.
Beats hell outta me why Republicans don't like the Supreme Court .. after all, it handed them George W. Bush on a silver platter .. also the Citizens United decision, which declared that corporations had the same rights as an individual person, and allowed unlimited corporate spending in elections.
Then too, maybe the Republican disaffection coincides with President Obama's two female appointments ...
