Well, Sam Alito and Barack Obama may have to agree-to-disagree on whether the Supreme Court has ignored a century of judicial precedents in its Citizens United ruling, but there is an unusually high level of agreement among the public about the ruling: They hate it.
A two-question ABC News/Washington Post poll on the issue revealed that 80 percent of Americans (65 percent strongly) oppose the Court's recent ruling, and 72 percent (52 percent strongly) want Congress to do something to reverse the Court. This is stunning. There are very, very few issues in American politics for which there is such lopsided and intense agreement.
