Judicial Nominations
By Alexander K. McClure ~ May 19th, 2005 @ 9:12 pm
Scott Rasmussen has some polling data that should cheer Republicans as zero hour on the Fair Play option approaches.
By a margin of 49%-23%, Americans believe every judicial nominee deserves an up-or-down vote.
By a margin of 57%-25%, Americans believe that the rules should be changed to prevent filibusters of judicial nominees.
If Democrats follow through on their threat and shut down the Senate, it would be an excellent way to help Republicans portray them as obstructionists. By a 55%-25% margin, Americans would disapprove of such a retaliatory strategy by Democrats.
It really isn’t fun to be a Democrat these days.
