WASHINGTON — Republicans appear to have the votes to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett and create the most conservative Supreme Court in nearly a century, one that could protect their priorities and hinder progressive goals for the next generation.
A New York Times/Siena College poll out Sunday said 56 percent of likely voters nationally want the winner of the presidential race to pick the next justice, while 41 percent prefer that Trump fill the vacancy before the election. Likely voters in the battlegrounds of Michigan and Wisconsin each said by a 19-point margin that the winner should fill the vacancy, new NBC News/Marist polls found.
“Having failed in the Senate on a 51-49 vote, and having failed at SCOTUS on a 5-4 vote, Nov. 10 is their last best shot to take away people’s health care,” he said. “They are a party that is extremely enthusiastic about invalidating this law.” The issue has haunted Trump and members of his party, who are caught between a core base that wants to unravel President Barack Obama's legacy and swing voters who support the law.
GOP operatives moved quickly to galvanize their base around the nomination, with the party's Senate campaign arm quickly selling “Notorious A.C.B.” T-shirts — mimicking the “Notorious RBG” nickname that Ginsburg earned as she became a cultural icon. “The issues are different now, but if you look at where the justices are on the political spectrum, justices like Amy Coney Barrett and Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh are as far to the right for their society as any justices in American history have ever been,” he said.
3 REPUB SENSTORS ALREADY SAID THEY WONT VOTE IN FAVOR...SO NO THE GOP DOESNT.
Lol. What political edge? Seriously, do you all believe the dems really have an edge besides the main stream media in their pockets? Last time I checked, repeating same bs again and again does not make it true or real.
