Most Americans balk at Republicans' Supreme Court scheme
Four years ago, when Senate Republicans launched an unprecedented, 10-month blockade against a sitting president's Supreme Court nominee, GOP senators insisted they were merely trying to give voters a voice in the process. "Let voters decide," Republicans declared, arguing that the winner of the next presidential campaign -- six months away -- should fill a vacancy.
In 2020, those same Republicans have decided they no longer agree with themselves. To defend their nihilistic hypocrisy, many GOP senators are saying they're simply reflecting voters' will: Americans elected a Republican president and Republican-led Senate, so they're justified in ramming through a high court nominee while millions cast their ballots.
Part of the problem is the popular vote: more voters preferred Donald Trump's opponent, and more Americans cast ballots for Democratic Senate candidates than Republican candidates.
But the other part of the problem is that a majority of Americans are not on board with the GOP's scheme.
