[G.Mason]

"... Judicial independence is a cornstone of American jurisprudence and we must accept a degree of unpopular decisions by the Court as a price of that independence."

To what degree? At the cost of our nation?

" ... The last thing you want is a Court which polls the people before making a decision. For that you should just replace the Court with Gallup and forget what the Constitution put in place."

And I would remind you that the present Supreme Court has members which do exactly that.

ie: Making decisions based on what foreign nations belive is right.

A Court subject to mob rule is far more of a threat than unpopular decisions. We have survived bad decisions in the past and will continue to do so.

No one on this Court consults polls before making their decisions. Tea leaves maybe.
