Backfired: SCOTUS' favorability is highest in two-and-a-half years

Obama’s war on the Supreme Court is working...for us!

Rasmussen Reports, Supreme Court’s Ratings Jump Following Health Care Hearings:

Just before the highly publicized hearing on the constitutionality of President Obama’s health care law, ratings for the U.S. Supreme Court had fallen to the lowest level ever measured by Rasmussen Reports. Now, following the hearings, approval of the court is way up.

Forty-one percent (41%) of Likely U.S. Voters now rate the Supreme Court’s performance as good or excellent, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. That’s up 13 points from 28% in mid-March and is the court’s highest ratings in two-and-a-half years….

It is impossible to know if the improved perceptions of the court came from the hearings themselves, President Obama’s comments cautioning the court about overturning a law passed by Congress, or from other factors. Approval of the court had fallen in three consecutive quarterly surveys prior to the health care hearings.

Attacking and marginalizing the Supreme Court, which is the Democrats’ strategy if they lose on the Obamacare mandate, sounds like a plan. Go for it.
