Poll: Most think politics will influence Supreme Court health care decision

A CBS News/New York Times poll released on Thursday shows that most Americans think the Supreme Court's health care decision will be based on justices' personal and political views.

According to the poll, 55 percent of Americans believe political positions will play a role in the health care decision, compared to 32 percent who believe justices will decide the case based on legal analysis. While fewer Republicans - 48 percent - believe personal or political views play a role, there respondents of different political stripes have a similar view. Fifty-six percent of Democrats and 57 percent of independents say justices' political views will influence the health care outcome. The margin of error is three percentage points.

Most of us would probably agree with that assessment.

Given the bald cravenness of Fat Tony and the One who Does Not Speak (and his WIFE). Their records make it very unlikely that politics would NOT influence the decision
