Approval Rating for Justices Hits Just 44% in New Poll/ By ADAM LIPTAK and ALLISON KOPICKI/Published: June 7, 2012
WASHINGTON — Just 44 percent of Americans approve of the job the Supreme Court is doing and three-quarters say the justices’ decisions are sometimes influenced by their personal or political views, according to a poll conducted by The New York Times and CBS News.
Those findings are a fresh indication that the court’s standing with the public has slipped significantly in the past quarter-century, according to surveys conducted by several polling organizations. Approval was as high as 66 percent in the late 1980s, and by 2000 approached 50 percent. . . . . .
Editor's notes: there are two
influences working against Supreme Court approval. One is the extremely
hopeless feelings we, as a people, share for Congress and the disgust
felt for the Executive Branch; the other is the increasing drum beat of
negative comments coming from the Democrat side of the aisle. While
Establishment Republican have openly criticized the High Court in the
past, such has never risen to an orchestrated "talking
point" nor has it included a complicit media.
Understand that the Far Left (as opposed to
normal Liberals) has no regard for the Constitution and every intention
of simply leaving that bit of Americana in the dust. Rather than hold a
Constitutional Convention and work to change that document via prescribed
methodology, the Far Left intends on simply ignoring the document and its
restrictions alal B. Obama's past four year strategy (in his circumvention of Congress, his misuse of Executive Order and his abuse of the regulatory process).
The single most important force preventing this
strategy from being a success, is the High Court. Understand that
this court, with its two Obama appointees, has voted against Obama
in two unanimous decisions, since the first of the year. In Hosanna Tabor Lutheran versus the
EEOC, the High Court voted 9 to Zero against Obama's misuse
of fairness in hiring laws to force Hosanna Tabor Lutheran Church
to hire unbelievers into their ministry program. No president in our
history has been more hostile to people of [Christian] faith than this
secularist we have acting as "president." This particular court
battle is absolute proof of what I am saying. Because of this case,
Obama's decision to go after the Catholic Church and Evangelicals who
oppose abortion was no surprise to this editor.
The second court battle thrown back in the face
of this Administration was Sackett
versus the EPA, another 9 - Zero decision against Obama's radicals
within the EPA, in which that regulatory board had taken the position that it
was above legal review. In the case of the Sacketts, the EPA came
in and declared their lot in Idaho, a "wetlands," ordering the
owners to restore this two acre lot "back to wetland status" when it was never "wetlands" from the beginning and stands in the middle of a larger and existing housing tract !!!
From these two examples, we
learn that (a.) Obama is far to the Left of those he appointed to the High
Court and (b.) , while "we" will never agree with all that the
Court decides, it does function out of concern for Constitutional
principles.
It would be a shame if we, as
a people, decided the High Court was no partisan that it should be
ignored.
Hopefully Scalia and Kennedy will retire or die, Ginsberg will retire, and be replaced - all during Obama's next term.
ReplyDeleteRoberts, Alito, and Thomas are a scourge on America that will likely be around for a long while.
Thomas's white wife is a teabagger. He does nothing for the court.
