Majority of Americans want Senate to move on Supreme Court decision: poll

Most Americans, regardless of whether they are Republican or Democrat, believe the Senate should move forward with confirmation hearings for a Supreme Court Justice this year, a new poll says.

By Jon Levine, NY Post, September 19, 2020:

The Marquette University Law School poll found 67% of respondents believed confirmation should proceed in 2020 while just 32% said the chamber should hold off.

The survey was conducted between Sept. 8 to Sept. 15 — just days before the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg from cancer Friday evening.

The poll did not suggest a strong partisan divide over the issue, with 68% of Republicans and 63% of Democrats holding that a nomination vote should take place. Independents supported going forward by a 71% margin.

The study is similar to 2016 surveys which found large majorities of Americans also wanted to see the Senate take up the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland, President Obama’s nominee to replace the seat left open by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in Feb. 2016.

That nomination was bottled up by the same GOP-controlled Senate. At the time Republicans insisted it would be improper to hold a confirmation vote in an election year and vowed to abide by the standard if the shoe was ever on the other foot.

Among elected officials, the current imbroglio has scrambled past partisan positions.

On Friday — just hours after Ginsburg’s death — Democratic Party leaders threw down the gauntlet, saying the chamber should not move to consider any nominee until after the 2020 election.

“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,” Sen. Chuck Schumer said — a word for word restatement of Republican Sen. McConnell’s position on Garland four years ago.

Both Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Trump have signaled their intention to fill Ginsburg’s seat swiftly.

Pick Barbara Lagoa, and lets see the left trash her. She will be the second “white Hispanic in history. Pick her now and let the Dems go insane.

Yes, Lagoa is a woman Hispanic who was confirmed to the 11th Circuit Court in November 2019, by an 80-15 vote. And with only 52 Republican Senators, many of those 80 votes had to be Democrat Senators.

And 67% is an underestimate, because about 15% of conservatives won’t answer telephone polls [Rasmussen].

It matters not what the majority wants or desires in America because of the out-of-control Marxists within and without the government and its agencies. The Democrats and its Marxist/Fascist legions will never bend to ‘We the People.’ The latter is deemed as no more than second-class citizens and it will worsen, accelerate if and when the Democrats and its hordes steal the Presidency. The people, especially whites, Christians and Jews are perceived as base dullards while they, the Left/Democrats are the apex of of principles and intellect. I do not place much value in polls, especially those placing Biden ahead of Trump. As DR stated 15% of conservative won’t answer telephone polls, I am one of those.

If Trump’s nominee gets approved, Biden is guaranteed victory. The blatant Republican hypocrisy of 2016 is still fresh in the minds of the American public. This will drive the unenthusiastic Biden supporters and lean Democrat voters to the polls in droves.

The Democrats destroyed Robert Bork as a crazed individual unfit for the SC. In fact the whole proceedings threw up a new meme “being Bork’ed”. They nearly destroyed Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh. Their tantrums don’t have a leg to stand on.

This is going to be a FAR greater bloodbath, for the Left Wingnut Regressives (Democrat Party members) than 2016. Little joey bidet will be lucky to carry four states.

Twenty-seven times, a Supreme Court Justice was nominated during an election year. Fourteen times, they were appointed. Out of the fourteen, only two were appointed when the Senate was of a different party than the president.

As obimbo was oft to say, “Elections have consequences”.

Trump nominating, and the senate confirming, then appointing that justice will have Trump win in a landslide.

Read vox and huffpost articles from 2016,. to get a liberal spin.

With 120 million killed, since 2007, from gun violence and 200 million dead from Covid-19, by the time that joey bidet finished his “talk” yesterday … how many voters are left?

He’s guaranteeing a landslide victory. But, it’s something that the little girls can whine about. Left Wingnut Regressives love to snivel, whimper, and whine.

Those aren’t my numbers, little one. Those are joey bidet’s death counts. And huffpo and vox’s numbers for the court.

I actually looked into their “fourteen” as many state seventeen. I used them to make Left Wingnut Regressives, such as you, feel comfortable.

No, little one. The Left Wingnut Regressive candidate (joey bidet) was the one that stated two hundred million.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8754233/Joe-Biden-makes-gaffe-saying-200-million-Americans-died-COVID-19.html

Even bidet isn’t SO stupid as to state, as YOU did, “200,000 million”. Which would be TWO HUNDRED TRILLION. Of course, that’s to be expected out of some POORLY educated PRETEND engineer.

The One hundred twenty million gun deaths, again was joey bidet.

On joey bidet’s gun deaths, I stand corrected. Little bidet did NOT state 120 million. Rather, he stated that, since 2007, ONE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION people, in the United States have died from guns.

Oh, and here’s another darling of Left Wingnut Regressives …. the “Fact Check” is Scopes.

No, what’s worse, little one, is YOU putting Two Hundred Trillion.

Biden is responsible for ALL of the Covid-19 deaths. That is a proven fact.

Right, I forgot you morons think that Biden is already in charge, and the protests and riots are all his fault. It’s funny how idiots like you post chaotic images of Trump’s America and label it Biden’s America.

I hate to inform you, little one, that a moron is FAR above an idiot on the Stanford-Binet scale. And, unfortunately, idiot is well above the average Left Wingnut Regressive (Democrat Party member).

If Trump declared martial law, what would be the squeal of you Left Wingnut Regressive idiots?

If Trump exercised the Insurrection Act, what would be the squeal of you Left Wingnut Regressive idiots?

Unless he did one or the other, unless a governor calls for assistance, there is nothing that the president can do.

And, where do we find the riots, looting, beatings, rapes and murders? Of course, they’re found in Left Wingnut Regressive (Democrat Party member) cities and states.

Do you want the Insurrection Act to be initiated and have these racist looters and murderers dealt with, as Lincoln did the Irish riots?

I’m all for it. Blood flowing in the streets. Is that what you are requesting?

If not, ALL of this is the cause of the Democrat Party and its idiot members.

Can even a PRETEND engineer understand that?

Any news on Mitt? Will he join Collins and Murkowski in being against it?
All we need is a simple majority to get one nominated to replace her.

Surprise me Mitt and agree with Mitch.
