I may not be the sharpest crayon in the box, but isn't that like a juror making up his mind before a trial starts? "Bring in that guilty SOB so we can give him a fair trial before we hang him?" Then, again, maybe there is a nuance there that is too subtle for the common folk.

The NO question is worded incorrectly. Try it this way:

NO, the facts of each individual case should be what determines a justice's ruling.

Done! - I know these polls, in many cases, are really meaningles. They are designed to make news. They ask the question, they know their audience will answer to and how. And then, the use the "poll." to tald about the 'news." But just piss them off a bit
