American voters want Judge Amy Coney Barrett to succeed the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the high court. The percentage of Democrat voters, moreover, that want to see Judge Barrett confirmed to the Supreme Court has doubled in the last two weeks.
Analysis from a joint Morning Consult-Politico poll says 46 percent of voters agree “the Senate should confirm Barrett — up 9 percentage points since President Donald Trump announced her nomination on Sept. 26 — as more voters say the chamber should consider her elevation to the high court as soon as possible.”
The numbers don’t lie. Judge Barrett deserves a swift confirmation to the Supreme Court, as evidenced by her cross-party appeal nationwide, the endorsement of colleagues and friends from across the aisle, and an impressive appearance at her confirmation hearings.
Americans trust Judge Barrett to sit on the Supreme Court and issue opinions that are fair and rooted in sound interpretation of the law rather than in lockstep with public opinion. As Barrett said during her hearings, policymaking isn’t the work of a judge or justice.
“Justices can’t just wake up one day and say, ‘I have an agenda, I like guns, I hate guns, I like abortion, I hate abortion,’ and walk in like a royal queen and impose their will on the world,” she said Tuesday, the second day of her confirmation hearings.
Members of the Senate should wholeheartedly endorse the nominee, not only because of her approach to the law but also because she’s earned high praise from friends and colleagues, many of whom don’t share Barrett’s approach to the law or political ideology.
The American Bar Association, moreover, awarded Judge Barrett its most prestigious rating upon evaluating Judge Barrett on her integrity, professionalism, competence and judicial temperament.
“A substantial majority of the Standing Committee determined that Judge Barrett is ‘Well Qualified,’ and a minority opinion is of the opinion that she is ‘Qualified’ to serve on the Supreme Court, Randall Noel, chairman of the ABA Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary, said. “The majority rating represents the Standing Committee’s official rating.
