Poll: US states should ignore federal court rulings
A new poll shows that many Americans want the individual states to refuse rulings issued by federal courts.
According to the Rasmussen Reports survey released on Friday, an increasing number of likely US voters think states should be able to disobey federal court rulings should their elected officials agree with them.
This came after the Supreme Court issued controversial rulings last week on same sex-marriage as well as ObamaCare subsidies.
33 percent of likely US voters believe states should be allowed to ignore federal court rulings if their elected officials agree with them.
That number increased from 24 percent during a similar survey conducted in last February.
Just over 52 percent disagree and the number dropped from 58 percent in the previous sampling.
15 percent remain undecided on the issue, Rasmussen poll indicated.
Support for state disapproval of federal court rulings is also on the rise regardless of political party.
Response from individual state governments would be supported by 55 percent of Republicans, 22 percent of Democrats and 30 percent of unaffiliated voters.
These figures are indicative of increasing support across all three demographics.
In addition to 50 percent of conservative voters, who support this idea, 27 percent of moderates and 15 percent of liberals also have the same opinion.
The poll, conducted on Tuesday and Wednesday, surveyed 1,000 likely voters for the new poll’s results.
The US Supreme Court issued a ruling last Friday making it legal for gay couples to get married in any US state.
Also on June 25, the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling on upholding ObamaCare subsidies.
