I guess to progressives the Constitution is only a piece of paper:
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that
26% of Likely U.S. Voters think the president should have the right to ignore
federal court rulings if they are standing in the way of actions he feels are
important for the country…
But perhaps more
unsettling to supporters of constitutional checks and balances is the finding
that 43% of Democrats believe the president should have
the right to ignore the courts. Only 35% of voters in President
Obama’s party disagree, compared to 81% of Republicans and 67% of voters not
affiliated with either major party…
[W]hile 72% of GOP
voters and 63% of unaffiliateds believe it is more important to preserve our
constitutional system of checks and balances than for the federal government to
operate efficiently, Democrats are evenly divided…
Women
and younger voters feel more strongly than men and those 40 and older that the
president should have the right to ignore federal court rulings. Black voters
believe that more than whites and other minority voters do.
