Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Constitution doesn't operate on the basis of opinion polls.

This is more one of those "is the Pope Catholic?" questions, as can be seen from the lopsided majority.

Remember when a super-majority of Americans thought Iraq was behind 9/11?

Ah, a different scenario.  Back then, the presidential administration and all its media allies spent several months attempting to convince the body politic that Iraq was behind 9/11.  Now, the presidential administraton and all its (more substantial) media allies have spent several years attempting to convince the body politic that the mandate is constitutional, managing to get the number who believe that to 20%, probably the same result as if they had devoted their energies to convincing the body politic that the Pope isn't Catholic.

So if 72% of people believe something, it must be true. Got it.

Is this a tacit admission by wormy that libertarianism is, in fact, idiotic?

Polls better than socialism.

Weren't there several decisions that overturned parts of Plessy prior to Brown?
