Filed in National by on March 27, 2012 2 Comments

Step aside Governor Markell, you are no longer the most popular politician and officeholder in Delaware. Delaware’s own Vice President Joe Biden garners 79% approval, and only 18% opposed. Now that’s a big f*&king deal.

Today begins the Supreme Court’s nearly unprecedented three days of oral arguments on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Given Commerce Clause precedent and caselaw going back to at least the mid 1930’s, the Obamacare law should be upheld as constitutional. But you never know with conservative activist judges.

Still more shocking: 12% strongly approve of her this month, and 12% strongly approved of her last month. Yes, the poll figures are almost exactly the same. I checked it several times to be sure.
