Republicans Less Positive Toward Supreme Court
Public Views of Congress Recover Slightly
July 9, 2010


Republicans' opinions of the Supreme Court have become less favorable during the Obama administration. As a result, more Democrats than Republicans now express a positive opinion of the Supreme Court -- the first time this has occurred since the Clinton administration.

1. Less positive? What spin is this?

When have they ever had a good thing to say about the courts?

5. They love the Taney Court. n/t

6. I would remind you that Lincoln was a Republican, and no friend of the Taney court

Of course, the present incarnation of the GOP is another matter entirely.

8. The party of Lincoln has become the party of John Wilkes Booth. n/t

3. Lies, Damned lies, and statistics.

We have the most conservative Supreme Court since FDR took office with little chance the balance will change, even with a second term. A Democratic President electing in 2016, may have a chance to change the balance.

7. Kagan will move the court to the right

I could be wrong ...

10. No, I think she keeps it where it is.

4. Even when they're winning they're STILL not satisified

How many more radical right wingers do they want on the court?

They even have freaking Kennedy voting with in the minority in 5-4 votes as often as the rest of the conservative judges, so how can you call him a swing vote moderate anymore this term?
