Majority Approves of Garland Confirmation

[Brain357]

Americans were hoping the president they elected, along with the senators they elected would simply do their job!

it's this type of nonsense that makes people fed up with politics...

most Americans are too busy living their lives and doing their jobs...

our senators should do their fucking jobs, you know, like the dignified statesmen they were elected to be.

They are. They are standing in the way of the US slipping further into the leftist's shit stew.

The people voted for Obama knowing he picks justices. They are standing in the way of the people. That won't be good come election time.

standing in the way of the people?

Hardly.

Obama, and Democrats?

yes

Obama won. So yes in the way of the people. People know what is right and fair. The repubs are deeply in the wrong on this one. Not good come election time.

Obama won.

The presidency, not emperor, king, etc.

People know what is right and fair

Looking at the candidates this year, I'm not so sure

And the constitution says the president picks the next Justice. Funny how quick repubs throw out the constitution.

You need to read more of the Constitution.

He nominates them.

He doesn't appoint them til the Senate approves them.

He NOMINATES, not APPOINTS.

 

[SwimExpert]

Another bullshit poll that is irrelevant. Jillian, most irrelevant poster on here.

Says the twit who wants 100% unemployment in favor of shipping in low priced foreign labor.

No it doesn't, he has the power to nominate... not pick.

Yes he picks the justice. Which is what he has done. Now if congress does their job they approve or deny the pick.

 

[whitehall]

Why not? All we have heard is glowing reports from the main stream media and almost zero criticism of Garland's alleged unconstitutional bigotry toward the 2nd Amendment.V.P. Biden spoke about a lame duck administration nominating a supreme court judge way back in 92 and he was adamantly against it. Is he a hypocrite?

And by law, they can do this at their leisure. Calm down Nancy.

People knew they were going to get to keep their doctors and pay less for insurance too.

You have cocky, but that's about it. Don't worry your little brain about the right, they are doing the will of the people, we didn't vote on socialism, we were lied to.

 

[NYcarbineer]

so much for "we the people" (unless the "We" is the rightwingnut minority, of course)

"Americans are more likely to favor (52%) than oppose (29%) Senate confirmation of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, according to Gallup’s first reading on public support for his nomination. That level of support essentially matches the average 51% in initial readings for the eight nominees Gallup has tested since 1991. CONT."

U.S. Support for Garland Average for Supreme Court Nominees

I'd support him more if he'd change his name to Garland Merrick.

I don't understand why the RW'ers, in a country where left/right is 50-50, think that they deserve another 80 - 20 rightwing judge.

Your math is fuzzy. The court lost a conservative judge, meaning a real judge, not an activist. Replacing him with anything but tilts the scale right now.

Plus the country is about 1/3rd left, 1/3rd right and 1/3 middle don't knowers.

There is no scale.

 

[Iceweasel]

59% of polled people said they knew little or nothing at all about him. Only 7% said they knew plenty about him.

Gee, if only there were somewhere people could find out information about any topic in the world. We could call it - oh, I don't know - "the Internet" or something...

Yeah sure. Right after the porn videos, facebook and shopping sites people are going to research a SCOTUS nominee.

I thought you said 50/50?

And if they continue to show they are a do nothing congress they will answer to the voters.

 

[Iceweasel]

yes, we are privy to the public hearings, which is what i'd like to see.

That's sorta what public means.

this grandstand obstructionism is sackless political brinkmanship...

Keep obama out of this.

 

[Fueri]

52%? Isn't that about the same number that opposed Obamacare when it was passed?

now we should do what the people think. m'kay

FTR, I think this shit is stupid. Obeezy can nominate. without good cause the congress should confirm, but citing a poll? fuck that nonsense. you can find a poll any day of the week to support whatever cause you want.....
