IMHO in general the American populance is very leery of any kind of change, so I blame it on the poll using that word. If your read the Constitution my interpretation is that it says the President will nominate and the Senate will advise and consent. PERIOD. No talk of 60% majority or anything like that. The two parties are usually so evenly split I can envision a situation where NEITHER party could ever get say a Supreme Court judge elected if its gonna always take 60 or more votes. that would probably be a bad thing. All I ask for personally is that judges be constitutional in nature and not activist cause I am a big believer in THE PEOPLE and THEIR DIRECT REPRESENTATIVES MAKING LAW. jdn
