Should the Supreme Court rule based on the constitution??

[bluffmanxx]

Just curious about everyone's views on this after reading an interesting story today.

I voted Yes.

Are you going to post the story?

I voted yes, but I know it doesn't always work out that way.

i wanted to let people vote first and hoped that a few would actually speak up...

[Niccivan]

Gotcha Well, I gave my vote.

Here is my reason:

Why would we want judges ruling on how they personally believe? That could potentially yield very inconsistent results for very similar situations if two judges don't see eye to eye on things. Someone could get away with something with one judge while another person found guilty on the same thing with a different judge.

I don't see that as being fair or just.

Just my 2 cents

You got my vote....dont really need to say what I voted as every one who knows me knows the way I voted...kinda takes the fun out of it

[billynomates]

Are you going to bring up some archaic law?

[bluffmanxx]

no law, just some interesting polling information....

While 82% of voters who support McCain believe the justices should rule on what is in the Constitution, just 29% of Barack Obama’s supporters agree.
