This poll was posted on the Twitter profile of Donald Trump before Trump announced his Supreme Court nominee selection.
As we are all aware, when Supreme Court Justice Scalia passed away eight (8) months before the 2016 Election, Mitch McConnell aka Moscow Mitch refused to allow Barack Obama to fill the Supreme Court Seat. McConnell and the Republican Party claimed that the American people should have a voice in the decision, and the Supreme Court seat should be filled by the person who wins the 2016 Presidential election.
It did not bother McConnell or the Republican Party that the Supreme Court only has eight (8) Justices for a year. Things are different now in 2020. Trump anticipates a very close election and the possibility of him having to challenge the election results in court. Trump’s challenge would certainly end up in the Supreme Court, where he cannot risk having a 4-4 vote.
Trump needs a 9th Supreme Court Justice, and a Supreme Court Justice that he can count on to vote his way. As a result, the Republican Party no longer believes that the American people should have a voice in the decision. The Republican Party no longer believes a President cannot have a Supreme Court Justice confirmed by the Senate during an election year. The Republican Party no longer believes that the Supreme Court can operate with only eight (8) Justices.
The Republican Party is willing to allow themselves to be exposed in front of the American people, as the American people view endless amounts of TV footage showing these same Republicans saying the exact opposite in 2016 than they are saying now in 2020.
The Republican Party knew the American people thought they were lying in 2016, so why not prove to the American people that they were lying? Placing another far-right Justice on the Supreme Court far outweighs confirming to the American people, something that the American people already knew, they are LIARS!!!
This poll confirms that Trump’s twitter followers do not feel that Putin and Putin’s GOP should be allowed to select a 3rd Supreme Court Justice.
