What is even more scary is that the Dems think that SCOTUS does rule based on the Constitution but think they shouldn't.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

"65% say that the Court justices rule based on their own personal political agendas."

I think the justification of that belief was seen in the rulings that the liberal justices issued in the Heller case.

I think Stevens dissent (I think it was his) could be summed by the phrase "I think it might be bad to overturn the law." Sure as hell wasn't based on much else.
