    "Views of the Supreme Court dropped sharply in a six-month period that included decisions that upheld abortion restrictions, struck down school integration plans and chided inaction on global warming, according to a poll Thursday.

    Fifty-seven percent view the court favorably, the poll by the Pew Research Center found. The number was the lowest for the court in the survey in two years and down from 72 percent in January."

    57% still view the SC favorably, but the trend is on a sharp downward swing. Time will tell how this settles out.

    For better or worse, it seems to me that public opinion and the Supreme Court have nothing to do with each other.

    And I'll stand by this assertion, whether or not public opinion happens to support my specific beliefs at a given moment.

    If anything, it's a reflection on Mr. Bush's choice of justices; the possibility that the court was "stacked."
