    This 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

    I 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 20
     
    I 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.

    I 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 20
     
    The 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 20
     
    I 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.

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

    I 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 20
     
    I think that after the election this year, that person elected should appoint a new judge.
  • bayliegirres on 01 Oct 20
     
    I 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 20
     
    The 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 20
     
    I 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 20
     
    I 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 20
     
    I think we should hold President Trump to the same regulations that Obama was held to when he was in this same position.

    "Neil Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court faces a dramatic week as senators prepare to cast key votes that could splinter the chamber and lead to a divisive rule change imposed by Republicans to ensure they can confirm the judge by Friday."
  • caileyhartenhoff on 04 Apr 17
     
    I don't believe filibustering will really do any good. They can't just filibuster until another justice dies or for years. It's really childish in a manner to just be doing it in order to have revenge over the Republicans.
  • mhennings622 on 04 Apr 17
     
    What is so bad about having a filibuster? Just let Democrats speak their mind and see what happens, they already waited a year and a half they can wait a little longer for a decision.

  • blakewilladsen on 07 Jan 13
     
    I think it's fair to say that the criticisms made against Hagel are in the past now. He should be fit for the job. From a defense standpoint there will be a lot of issues at hand in this administration.

    "If Branstad is confirmed by the Senate, Republican Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds would become Iowa's governor. She would be the first female in hold that office in Iowa. Reynolds would hold the position until Branstad's term ends in January 2019, and she could run for governor in 2018."

    Derailing a president's choice for the US Supreme Court is difficult. But it has happened eight times in the last half-century, through the kind of Senate combat that led to the 1987 defeat of Robert Bork and administration missteps like the 2005 case of Harriet Miers.

    The two presidential front-runners celebrated a victorious night Tuesday, each notching major wins in East Coast primaries and taking significant leaps towards their party's nominations. And in dueling victory speeches that showcased their starkly contrasting tone and style, Trump and Clinton had one thing in common: an eye on November.

    For the Republican nomination it is going to come down to if the true conservatives come out and support or not. The nomination will be for Romney if they do not come out and Santorum will win if they do. Gingrich, Bachman, and Huntsman have no chance in my opinion. Paul on the other hand will be an interesting story. He is appealing to the younger voters, so his success will be based upon if the <25 population comes out to vote.

    The Democratic and Republican presidential front-runners laid out a potential fault line in what would surely to be a heated general election clash after they both swept much closer to closing out their party nominations. Clinton relished a chance to lay into Trump in her victory speech in Philadelphia after winning four out of the five Northeastern primary contests.
