thank you...The only change is the way you conducted your poll.. How about the real polls about Abortion, they have changed drastically, but that doesn’t count.. Go Figger.. :)
Why the heck does public opinion matter at all?
Public opinion would be reflected in the legislation on homosexual marriage, but not in court rulings. For example, three states voted for homosexual marriage in November, but 32 states, an overwhelming majority, have amended their constitutions to define marriage.
The legislature of New York and a couple of other states voted to allow homosexual marriage. Again, this is where public opinion is expressed, by who is elected, and the views of our elected representatives.
So, do we make laws through political correctness, public opinion polls, and court rulings?
A court has no business acting as a legislature or sounding out public opinion, in determining if our marriage laws are constitutional. The laws in question need to be measured against the constitution, not some public opinion poll.
I don’t know.
When’s the last time they teach that we are a nation of laws/rules?
From I glean from the tidbits in colleges/schools, it is all about swaying (or what they call, leading) public opinions towards the ‘correct thinking’.
Our form of government has turned too far to the "democracy" side and is in grave danger of losing its constitutional aspect altogether. IOW, our government is collapsing. Obama's plan, no less!
My hope-o-meter is down to zero, when it comes to the Supreme Court.

The democrats are now a barely restrained Lynch Mob.
Public opinion shouldn’t matter a hill of beans.
The wolves have all voted that you are for dinner.
Unfortunately the article is spot on.

Yeah public opinion. If we went with public opinion we never would have had a war for independence. The nation was bout 1/3 Tory,1/3 Rebelling Colonists, an 1/3 living out in hinterlands and not really caring one way or the other.
The day public opinion sways Constitutional law we are in trouble...well heck we are already in trouble since we are discussing it.

thank you...Public opinion on marriage for gay and lesbian couples has shifted with almost unprecedented speed since California voters banned such unions in 2008.
That shift could influence the Supreme Court, in particular Justice Anthony M. Kennedy and possibly Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., as it decides whether to uphold Proposition 8 in coming months. …
If that’s true then they aren’t fit to sit on any bench let alone the US Supreme Court.
Warning! Do Not Play With Queers.You Could End Up Like Biscuit.
Public opinion was once very much in favor of slavery.
