The poll found 66 percent of respondents opposed a possible rule change to eliminate procedural roadblocks known as filibusters against judicial nominees, while 26 percent supported the idea. I BET most didnt understand that the Republicans dont want to CHANGE the rule but to KEEP the same procedure that has been used for OVER 200 YEARS which is ADVICE AND CONSENT by the SENATE not by a MINORITY in the Senate. Word the question like this: Are for or against CHANGING the Senate rules for advice and consent on Judicial nominations to allow a minority to filibuster nominees in committee thus disallowing a full vote in the Senate. And see what the answer would be. jdn

We know how they conduct "polls". What liberal lies did they feed the respondents prior to asking their loaded questions.

When a poll said quote, 'Even if they disagree with a judge, Senate Democrats should at least allow he President's nominations to be voted on,' 81 percent said they agreed." ... a Rasmussen Reports survey which asked: "Should the Senate rules be changed so that a vote must be taken on every person that the President nominates to become a judge?" By two-to-one, those asked said yes, 56 percent to 26 percent. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It looks like the Democrats are hanging themselves over their continued use of the nuclear option.
