Proposal to Remove External Link "Legal Analysis of the Decision" Link. This is NOT a true legal analysis that one would find in a law review journal, rather it is siimply a blog entry by a lawyer. His views are presented in a heavily biased, non-scholarly fashion. This should be either deleted. It has no scholarly value. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.181.121.29 (talk) 06:29, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Some reference should be made to the retention of the district court judge- more people voted to retain him in his district than voted to retain the Supreme Court justices. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.125.232.177 (talk) 19:14, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Drake Study
I'm not sure why my edit was undone without explanation. The poll information that I removed was not a scientific poll. If you read the methodology of the study, you'll notice that they say "The survey link was distributed using various social media outlets including Facebook and Twitter, web pages, and e-mail. In an effort to balance conservative, liberal and independent responses, researchers requested distribution of the survey link to several special interest groups on both sides of the issue." Also, calling it a "Drake University study" is quite misleading given that it was done by students as part of a class project. The study was not conducted by any Drake faculty, and it was not peer reviewed. I don't see how this has any place in Wikipedia. --Alienmercy (talk) 19:22, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not up to us to judge the validity of any poll or survey, only to report what secondary sources say. I would support its reinsertion if it's notable in itself (e.g., discussed by multiple reliable sources over the course of more than a few days). If that happens, the wording might make clear that the methodology is suspect, but that also would need to be reliably sourced. Let's give it some time and see how it shakes out.
