Did the recount decision hurt the Supreme Court's credibility? Current results are running 42% favoring-56% opposing the Supreme Court decision.

Please Freep this poll.

When Breyer said "We won" oops. There should have been a call for impeachment.

I clicked on the Newsweek link (same URL as you provided in the paranthasis) but I could not find any poll. Where is it?

[StriperSniper]

Click on Unsettled Scores, halfway down on the left.

There is good reason to believe that this poll is rigged. Its numbers are the same as last night, before a major freeping of it, which seemed to have no effect and did not change the numbers any.

Did they have credibility?

[OldFriend]

Poll proves more people visit their polls than watch their shows.

Freeped, but I think it's rigged as well. I have my browser set to question cookies, and as soon as I got to the page with the poll. cookie queries kept contantly appearing. Allowing the cookies took you directly to ad pages - like five or six of them, obscuring the article and poll. And the percentages aren't changing a whit.

Newsweak never cheats - nah !

If you want a good poll freeping, you have to link the EXACT poll URL, or at least provide a few hints where to find it.

[Silly]

It's quite possible that the poll is being un-FReeped by other sites.

Internet polls are thoroughly worthless, statistically. The only real benefit of FReeping them is to skew them for the gullible people who actually rely on them to know their own minds.

Thanks....my vote is in. Hope lots of other freepers hit this poll big time since it's results are bound to be reported on TV which is where much of the American public gets it's info!

Try pasting this url into your browser -- I copied it from the page with the poll.

Anything that diminishes the Supreme COurt's credibility or 'sanctity' is a good thing. They're humans just like you and me, and to say that they are some impartial, high-holy, revered branch of government makes me sick. Jefferson warned about the judiciary becoming 'high priests' or something like that.

[Ol' Sparky]

The Newsweek story hurts Souter, Ginsburg and Beyer's credibility. The liberal judges on the court wanted the Florida Supreme Court to decide the 2000 election, despite the fact the FSC tried to rewrite state election law.

You're assuming that voting in this poll makes a difference and that the outcome wasn't already set. Boy, am I getting cynical or what?
