taken over the weekend found that 62% of American adults felt the vacancy should be filled by whoever wins the 2020 presidential election.
"President Trump's nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate," McConnell said in aThat's despite not even allowing a hearing for former President Barack Obama's pick to replace Antonin Scalia in 2016. That nominee, Merrick Garland, was the chief judge of the second-highest court in the country, the D.C. Court of Appeals, at the time of his nomination.Trump is vowing a replacement very soon.
.""It will be a woman. I think it should be a woman because I actually like women much more than men."NPR's Carrie Johnson and Tamara Keith reported this weekendBarrett, who has been a federal judge in Chicago for three years, is seen by NPR's sources as a front-runner. The 48-year-old University of Notre Dame law professor and staunch Catholic was a finalist for the seat Brett Kavanaugh ultimately filled.
This is outlined by the constitution of the United States. Our government isn’t run in accordance with media polls.
You sure. 62%. You call like 10 friends
The country can't be ruled on majority rule. It's a bad road to go on.
Ok, so I'm in the minority but ..
fakepoll FakeNews
And yet there is no motion on a COVID relief bill. Priorities
Republicans set the precedent of waiting to fill a vacancy in an election year. Now they’re going back on it. They won’t abide by their own rule. End the hypocrisy! FlipTheSenateBlue
I bet that with dem president, 62% would feel that the vacancy must be filled right away. And what an odd number - 62 percent...
You talked to everybody? Somehow you missed me 🧐
If only the GOP senate moved this fast in getting the American people their relief check. Things move slower than molasses when there’s no profit to be made. Sad.
Either way, Trump will be picking. Better get used to it.
Trump and the Rep led Senate, now have an opportunity to protect our Constitution for decades. Do the right thing and seat a proper Justice, not protect your job.
These assholes betting that American people are just going to let this fly
Fake News
For the 62% of Americans who don’t understand how the Constitution works!
Another a Liberal over sampling poll.....embarrasing🤔

Good thing the US isn't governed by 'polls'.
The Constitution is pretty clear...not by popular vote on any given day...from a loaded poll. Or wishes made on deathbed. 🤔 even Ruth agreed. Poll methodology...link?

It will be filled by whoever won the election. The last election was 2018. Fill the seat.
Does that poll even matter? Nope, it's completely irrelevant. The Constitution is clear. FillTheSeat Thanks for the propaganda NPR (National Propaganda Radio).
More hyperbolic BS from NPR. It’s the People’s seat, not Ginsburg’s. She was chosen to serve in it. And judges swear not to nake decisions “with respect to persons”. The constitution doesnt mention “Ginsburg”. Are leftists going to burn courthouses now?
Gdad1
It’s the president’s job to fill Supreme Court vacancies. And this is not a monarchy-officials do not will their seats to the next official
This is not the Americans job to appoint this position.
Not true.
Yea but when do the american people actually get what they want/need from our government
Gdad1 It’s not really about American citizens anyway
Typical confederate senator.
Shills at NPR oppose the constitutional process for filling SCOTUS seats. They do this because they know GOP has the votes to confirm Trump’s appointment.
If it was okay for Obama to do it, Trump should be able to.
A poll doesn't absolve law-makers of their responsibilities including nominating a successor to Ginsberg and taking up the nomination in Senate. The argument Democrats made in 2016 was right then and it's right now.
Republicans rarely represent the American people. Add this 62% to 67% who want the fed Gov to reduce climate change effects. Add to the 64% who want the very wealthy taxed much more. Add again to the 62% who want abortion legal. The list goes on. Republicans don't represent us.
SRNNews Bob Woodward on 60 minutes laying out the reasons why trump should not be president and why trump’s re-election should fail. Trump is completely incompetent and ignorant to a president’s responsibilities Trump and Barr most dangerous men on earth
Shameful
In RBG's own words, the President is President for four years, not 3.5 years. Trump needs to fill that seat.
The Republicans DO NOT CARE what the people want. They believe they can do anything, and they will still be elected over and over. In the past it is true. NOW IS OUR CHANCE TO SHOW THEM we are not going to stand for it any more. VOTE BLUE across the board.
Polls are not an accurate reflection of sentiment in America...so no.
Please note that NPR does not disclose the methodology of the survey. Anyone want to bet this survey was non scientific and conducted with only registered democrats?
Your poll numbers appear to be at odds with other poll numbers. But that's NPR for you: Propaganda all the way.
Not according to this poll.
Silver lining..when the history is written about this administration the demise of the democracy will be at the hands of racist white men and women and not the black and brown folks they choose to demonize..
What’s wrong with that other 36% (giving +2 for error)? People can’t be that desperate for power to control America & courts with conservative views over common human decency? Can they?
NPR FakeNews, no matter what % saying wherever they want, they need to read Article II of the Constitution and you NPR FakeNews needs to publish it for them to read. Fools!
This don't prove that the president nominee is possible like the media I say it's 50/50 chance (weird science)!!!!!
Republicans argue that the electoral college is necessary to prevent California from running the rest of the country. Realistically it is a Senator from Kentucky that controls everything.
McConnell is correct. People are foolish. Put the show on the other foot and imagine the difference in both news coverage (I use that term lightly with NPR) & the standards of people affiliated with either political party.
Its the President’s duty to nominate a judge for the vacancy. The Senate should do their job. That is the constitution.
Polls are not how we do this.
What poll? Judge shld be chosen now. No one asked this family.
That shows how the GOP are going for a coup. We gotta stop them.
So?
The Republican Senator majority represent 44% of the American people. What ever happened to Democracy?
A poll isn’t an election
-- Does this mean Democrats have changed their minds since 2016 or that Republicans disagree with McConnell's rush?
Fill the seat now. Your polls are bs.
Donald Trump won the presidential election, and will be President all year long. So he should appoint the judge pursuant to the provisions of the US Constitution. Period.
So how many pct. of the American people does the GOP members of the Senate represent?
Honor the wishes of the American People and wait until after the election to choose the next Supreme Court Judge. Honor Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish to wait until after the election to choose the next Supreme Court Justice.
Republican McConnell is a shameless liar. McConnell (3/20/16): 'The American people are about to weigh in on who is going to be the president. And that's the person, whoever that may be, who ought to be making this appointment.'
people. Honor the Wishes of the American People and wait until after the election.
Petition an Amendment 25 in the House of Representatives. The Democrats have the Majority. Stop Trump before he ever gets to the Senate. The American People are behind this. The polls show that the new Supreme Judge Should be chosen by the New President. Honor the wishes of the
MitchIsADick
Why would the GOP Senate leave the appointment of a Supreme Court justice to a Party whose disdain for the Constitution led them to threaten to pack the court, who impeach officials they hate & who plan to add states for the sole purpose of permanent political power?
Republican McConnell will lie about anything. Liars like McConnell, should have no voice in choosing a Supreme Court Justice.
available to you?
Is Mentally Incompetent by any Mental Health Professional standard around the world. There are two petitions written by over 1000 Mental Health Professionals ready to testify on your behalf to remove him from the Presidency. Why aren’t you using the weapons that are there
McConnell (2/23/16): 'The Senate will appropriately revisit the matter when it considers the qualifications of the nominee the next president nominates, whoever that might be.' McConnell (3/16/16): 'Give the people a voice.' Democrats got more votes for the Senate in 2018.
NPR is 100% bullshit.
There are two petitions signed by over 1000 Mental Health Professionals Called Prescription For Survival Begging the American People to Remove Donald Trump from the Presidency because he is the most dangerous man in the world. He cannot even pronounce his own name correctly. He
Nope and Fvck off NPR FillTheSeat
Domenic has a history of suppression polls... Apparently, he becomes distraught when you question his methods (ethics) of reporting voter suppression polls...
mitch mcconnell’s lasting legacy will be that he was, at every turn, without conscience senatemajldr
You know that Donald Trump is Mentally Impaired so he cannot choose a Supreme Court Judge. You must stop him from being a President. Stop him in the House of Representatives. Call an Amendment 25. There are over 1000 psychiatrists in the World begging you to remove him from power
When GOP gets a maj federalist judges it won’t matter what happens in the next couple elections. They will have the power to overturn just about everything the Democrats will try to do. Originalist judges interp at time of adoption. Like fundamentalists.
The majority of people want Trump gone, and that majority produces an even bigger majority of the GDP. So tell me, in a supposedly democratic society, what legitimacy do these people have to rule over us? None.
True
NPR is so biased.
And most people are wearing masks. Not many use their brains.
FakeNews fakepoll
It’s always party before country with the GOP
There's no rule to be broken here. The vacancy can be filled by the President with approval from the Senate. If he can't get approved, he can't fill it. If he can, then there's nothing stopping him. That's how the system works. God bless America.
Democrats in the House of Representatives, you have the Majority, you know how the people feel so it is your duty to do what it takes to prevent Donald Trump from choosing a new Supreme Court Justice.
The republican party chooses to do as they please, which means we need to do as we please and VOTE them out of office. They are being completely controlled by trump and do not have the guts to think about us - The People!
= Fascist phase

It doesn't matter what the people want. They were asked and voted in a Republican Senate and President and now, even if they lose the election, they will have a stacked Supreme Court for 20 years or so.
NPR Is funded by TAX PAYERS You and me!! They are DefundLeftist Trump2020
Mitch McConnell is a partisan hack who will be remembered in history books as the man who killed the GOP.

Chuck schumer spoke first. So....tell the truth for once Ffs
Who did you poll? Clearly none of them understand the constitution.
Justice RBG was confirmed to the US Supreme Court by a vote of 96-3. Her last wish should be honored.
62% I think your polling an Antifa riot or a Bien rally of about 10 loyal individuals 🙌💪🙌🇺🇸Trump2020
Republican senators on sale. Buy yours. They are cheap. Disclaimer: they come with no scruples, no moral, full of lies as directed by their puppet master, Donald “deceiving” Trump and their big boss Putin.
The entire process is a farce. GOP Senate leadership has already announced they have secured enough votes. No need to conduct security vetting. No need for hearings. No need for Dem imput. No need to even identify the nominee. The fix is in. FlipTheSenateBlue
Those 62% will be sadly disappointed.
We have a president. Maybe the Dems should impeach again?
U mean Mitch McConnell is changing his principles to fit his political agenda?
My grandma’s last wish was to make sure polls like this mean nothing. The general public wants weed legal too...illegal!
So...If Donald Trump wins...He should fill the Supreme Court vacancy?
Because Republicans do not value representative democracy
Mitch mcconnell can eat several dicks and more than a few entire assholes
The libtards are going to turn the insanity up to 11 now. Get ready to watch WashDC burn at the hands of angry Democrats . They will sully Ginsbergs legacy with a fury of dispicable retaliations. Just ask Kavenaugh how low the will go. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
chuckgrassley Trump America in eternal chaos is getting worse by Trump's demolition derby tactics to keep plugging US courts with candidates just like Barr bigot who could defend him & his corrupt clan, remaining devoted and subservient, corruption gang
The law: President nominates, Senates consents (or not). Simple. Senate didn’t consent to Garland, in compliance with established Senate rules. I don’t see a problem besides stompy-foot sore losers.
🤣😂🤣🤣
Nothing like the unprincipled raw power of the minority being shoved down America’s throat as we are already choking on malevolence and malfeasance to heal the nation, I guess?
If you ever wanted clear evidence that the judicial branch has too much power
The difference being is that Obama was a lame duck.
Nothing better than an impeached majority loser doing the exact opposite of what they decried 4 1/2 years ago, but I mean the modern gop is literally racist corrupt grifters so this is to be expected
Elections have consequences.

Why are votes being cast this early? It's as disingenuous as writing a book review without having read the book.
Man the bots are out in force today!
The American people DO have a voice. We voted for that in 2016 and will again on 11/03/2020. MAGA KAG2020LandslideVictory TrumpPence2020 ...and the crying has already started.🙂😎💪
It’s not appropriate to ram this through now. Remember we are not “close” to an election. We are literally in the middle of an election. People have already started voting!!
The GOP refused to confirm an Obama justice, in clear violation of the founding documents of this nation. Now that the tables are turned, i say fair's fair.
When Putins' baby was elected I gave up on the SC. Now I feel it is useless.
The election is already underway: Early voting is HAPPENING NOW in 4 States. Nearly 7 million Americans who've tested positive for COVID19 so far will be stuck with an uninsurable 'pre-existing condition' FOREVER when GOP overturns the Affordable Care Act.
The Constitution does not care when the election is when nominating a justice, as we have already voted in a standing Senate and POTUS. The POTUS is at the very least POTUS until January 20th. Get a grip.
Sorry Chuck, you have no options

'The President is elected for 4 years not 3 years, so the powers that he has in year 3 continue into year 4. Maybe some members of the Senate will wake up & appreciate that that's how it should be.' -RBG
Despite demanding a vote in 2016, Dems and the media pretend this is unprecedented. Hacks
impeach him again Trump. He said he didn't have time to notify all states while being president.... how does he have time for rushing a vote for RBG. within hours he was stomping on her grave. She gave years to America and he treated her terrible.
Is this the 'whirlwind' of which Schumer spoke back in March of this year?
in 2016 the republican majority had been elected to oppose Predient Barack Obama, in 2020 the republican majority has been elected to support President Trump. Elections have consequences. They won. It is embarassing to have to keep explaining this VoteGold JoJorgensen2020
Excellent! May President Trump select a great nominee, and may the Senate confirm her.
They will vote their wallet like always
We wouldn't be in this mess if, from October 28, 2016 through November 8, 2016, the media hadn't decided to go on a frenzy over her emails because of the irresponsibility of one man. The real problem is, the media have never learned their lesson.
Elections are for the full term in office and, as a famous guy once said, 'Elections have consequences.' Dems and their 'media' have been threatening to pack the court and now are threatening violence. The American people should not kowtow to threats.
Here's the link to donate to the GetMitch fund which is working to elect Dems in Competitive senate races
So very sad.
No respect for the legacy of RBG
Christians believe life is of God. Hence, life is the basis of all human rights. Protecting the life of the unborn and the life of all human beings precedes all other social issues which are a consequence of life.
all bets are off after kav! plus dems wanna pack the courts regardless.
