Opinion | The Supreme Court and Donald Trump

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : Defending against the conservative effort to gut public education must become our priority.
57% : I was educated at and have taught at public universities, including U.C.L.A. and Berkeley.
56% : Trump Is Too Great a Threat" (column, Dec. 20):I always appreciate Michelle Goldberg's clearsighted commentary on our world, but today I felt as if she were talking directly to me and to my friends, who are all doing exactly what we shouldn't -- giving in to political despair.
49% : State universities have the potential to educate generations of historically literate citizens, but we're not on a path to realizing that potential.
39% : Perhaps the best solution is not for the justices to protect Donald Trump but for the court to refuse to hear the case, as I believe it should have done with Bush v. Gore.
36% : The writer is professor emerita of political science at the University of Nevada, Reno, and a co-author of "Saving Public Higher Education: Voices From the Wasteland.
35% : Donald Trump has a personality cult with millions of armed and angry members who would dispute that the sun rises in the east if he said it rises in the west.
32% : Mr. Krugman acknowledges the real danger of the latest outbreak of antisemitism within the Ivy League, but also draws attention to the war on truth waged by conservative politicians at public schools and universities.
31% : To the Editor:Re "Barring Trump From the Ballot Would Be a Mistake," by Samuel Moyn (Opinion guest essay, Dec. 24):Despite the vast difference in our academic credentials (me: B.A. from Miami University, Professor Moyn: J.D. from Harvard), I dispute the author's conclusion that American democracy will suffer if the U.S. Supreme Court upholds the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court to bar Donald Trump from the primary ballot in that state.
19% : The Supreme Court need not wait for the "consensual narrative" about Donald Trump that Prof. Samuel Moyn believes is lacking.
