Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : Affirmative action.
66% : Affirmative action
48% : After a series of judicial bombshells in June that included eliminating the right to abortion, a Supreme Court dominated by conservatives returns to the bench -- and there are few signs that the court's rightward shift is slowing.
45% : The justices will hear an appeal from a web designer who objects to providing services for same-sex marriages in a case that pits claims of religious freedom against laws banning discrimination based on sexual orientation.
43% : Alito dissented vigorously, calling the Texas program "affirmative action gone berserk."
40% : Oct. 31, the court is set to hear two cases that "put more than 40 years of affirmative action precedents at risk," Liptak writes.
25% : His attempt to carve a middle path on abortion -- he floated allowing states to ban the procedure after 15 weeks -- ran headlong into Justice Samuel Alito's stark ruling for the majority in June, in which he declared that Roe v. Wade was "egregiously wrong from the start."
22% : Roberts has been an outspoken critic of affirmative action, writing in a 2007 opinion, "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."
