Ignore the Polling on Who Should Replace Ginsburg
American Thinker.com ^ | September 20, 2020 | Trevor Thomas

Posted on 09/20/2020 10:13:04 AM PDT by Kaslin

Not even 24 hours after Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death, multiple media outlets were telling us that on the question of whom they prefer to replace Ginsburg on the U.S. Supreme Court, voters prefer Joe Biden to President Trump.

The Fox News headline Saturday afternoon declared that "52% trust Biden over Trump on Supreme Court picks." The Fox News question on the Supreme Court was included in its regular Trump-Pence vs. Biden-Harris poll and was conducted days prior to Ginsburg's death. The Fox poll gave Biden a 52%-45% edge on whom people trust "to do a better job on ... SCOTUS nominations."

On early Saturday afternoon, a New York Times headline read, "Polls Have Shown Voters Prefer Biden to Pick Next Justice." The Times article reported on the Fox poll and also reported on its own New York Times/Siena College three-state poll. The Times article states, "In Times/Siena polls of Maine, North Carolina and Arizona released Friday, voters preferred Mr. Biden to select the next Supreme Court justice by 12 percentage points, 53 percent to 41 percent."

A Saturday headline at The Hill read, "Majority of voters say Trump should not nominate a Supreme Court justice." This article reports on "a snap poll released Saturday by YouGov." According to The Hill:

The poll found that 51 percent of voters believe Trump should not nominate another justice this year, while 42 percent said he should move forward with a nominee. A slight majority, 48 percent, believe the Senate should not confirm a nominee this year. Forty-five percent said the upper chamber should.

All of this is meant to discourage President Trump, Senate Republicans, and their supporters from moving forward with a nomination to replace Ginsburg prior to the November elections.

Faux News polls are always fake.

We must nominate and confirm, since Compromised Roberts could give us a series of 4-4 decisions on 2020 election cases involving ballots, some of which would allow Biden to cheat his way to victory. I don’t really like this situation, but it must be done.

"Is Life, Property and every Thing dear and sacred, to be now submitted to the Decisions of PENSION'D JUDGES, holding their places during the pleasure of such a Governor, and a Council perhaps overawed! To what a State of Infamy, Wretchedness and Misery shall we be reduc'd if our Judges shall be prevail'd upon to be thus degraded to Hirelings, and the Body of the People shall suffer their free Constitution to be overturn'd and ruin'd. Merciful GOD! Inspire Thy People with Wisdom and Fortitude, and direct them to gracious Ends. In this extreme Distress, when the Plan of Slavery seems nearly compleated, O save our Country from impending Ruin - Let not the iron Hand of Tyranny ravish our Laws and seize the Badge of Freedom, nor avow'd Corruption and the murderous Rage of lawless Power be ever seen on the sacred Seat of Justice!

"Is it not High Time for the People of this Country explicitly to declare, whether they will be Freemen or Slaves? It is an important Question which ought to be decided. It concerns us more than any Thing in this Life. The Salvation of our Souls is interested in the Event: For wherever Tyranny is establish'd, Immorality of every Kind comes in like a Torrent. It is in the Interest of Tyrants to reduce the People to Ignorance and Vice. For they cannot live in any Country where Virtue and Knowledge prevail. The Religion and public Liberty of a People are intimately connected; their Interests are interwoven, they cannot subsist separately; and therefore they rise and fall together. For this Reason, it is always observable, that those who are combin'd to destroy the People's Liberties, practice every Art to poison their Morals. How greatly then does it concern us, at all Events, to put a Stop to the Progress of Tyranny. It is advanced already by far too many Strides. We are at this moment upon a precipice. The next step may be fatal to us. Let us then act like wise Men; calmly took around us and consider what is best to be done. Let us converse together upon this most interesting Subject and open our minds freely to each other. Let it be the topic of conversation in every social Club. Let every Town assemble. Let Associations & Combinations be everywhere set up to consult and recover our just Rights.

" The Country claims our active Aid. That let us roam; & where we find a Spark Of public Virtue, blow it into Flame." - Samuel Adams

Your point is exactly right. having a 4-4 SC when the rats have have 800 lawyers ready challenge any state they lose is just a disaster. Collins and that worthless traitor from Alaska have said no without even knowing who Trump is nominating.

It’s Constitutionally mandated. How Fox news polls see it, has nothing to do with anything.
Nominate, Confirm, and be done with it.

Another one of Fox’s special sauce suppression polls, brought to you courtesy of Chris Wallace.
Fox polls are much much worse then even CNN polls.
At least some of the CNN polls have been genuine
Every single Fox poll is fake.

Simplest solution: Turtle adjourns senate. Trump makes recess appointments out the wazoo.

Yup.
That's one thing you can count on in these uncertain times. Fox news polls will always be fake.

How the heck does RBG die very late Friday night and they have a poll Saturday morning pushing for Trump to hand over the SCOTUS nomination to Slow Joe?
Why would they even do such a poll?

Meaningless poll as fully two thirds of Americans can’t name one SC sitting judge.

Please take a look at Britt Grant. This shouldn’t be just a hate vote. Should be well thoughtout
