Bryan Pregon on 22 Sep 20This is BIG news. We will discuss the implications of this in class. Here is a good article that explains how likely it is the the Republicans will get their way on this issue: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/19/us/politics/mitch-mcconnell-trump-supreme-court.html

emilysmith200 on 23 Sep 20I think President Trump should wait for the next election to vote on a new Supreme Court Nominee, so the new president has a choice on who they would like.

eoneal271 on 28 Sep 20I do not think that Donald Trump should be able to appoint a judge right now. The election is not even 3 months away, and Obama wasn't able to appoint a judge when he was in office and the election was not as close as it is now. I think it would be really unfair if they allowed him to do so. It is very important right now who gets into office and picks a new judge so I think that htye should wait.

gozzello162 on 28 Sep 20I think there is a massive double standard here. This same argument was made with Obama when he was in office on an election year and he was blocked from a nomination and now Trump is being allowed to nominate a judge.The senate will push it through because it is republican dominated. It makes me sad to think that this is what our country has come to

margaretgrover on 28 Sep 20The double standard here is obvious because the Senate is Republican-controlled they are going to go back on what they said during the last election just to appease Trump. It is not right and brings into question their credibility, how can we trust them to support us and do what they say they will do if they can't even follow their own rules?

abbyparks on 28 Sep 20I agree with the double standard thought. It is unfair to allow one president to nominate a judge while another has to wait. I believe that they should wait to bring in a new court justice.

shanarief on 28 Sep 20I do not think Trump should´ve been able to appoint a new judge, I believe it should have been the next presidents responsibility.

laurenhansen168 on 28 Sep 20I agree with Shana, I don't think trump should be able to pick someone, it should be up to the next president

bradenlasale on 29 Sep 20I think that after the election this year, that person elected should appoint a new judge.
-
bayliegirres on 01 Oct 20I think we should wait until the new president is elected to appoint a new judge so it's fair because that is what Obama had to do.
-
ethompson038 on 02 Oct 20The 2016 election was 9 months after the death of a judge and Republicans made Obama wait. We're days before and they're telling Trump to nominate now. I think that's wrong and that they should wait until after the election.

hharker376 on 05 Oct 20I think we should wait to add a new person into the spot. Thats what RBG would have wanted and thats what had happened in the past.
-
jcooley186 on 05 Oct 20I agree with waiting to add a new person into the spot, there's a lot at risk here when finding a fit person for RBG, the person who Trump nominated goes against all things RBG was for, so I think it would've been best to wait.

bguevara787 on 05 Oct 20I think we should hold President Trump to the same regulations that Obama was held to when he was in this same position.
