A new poll conducted shortly before the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg revealed that an overwhelming majority of U.S. adults of all political stripes supported holding hearings for a nominee if a vacancy opened on the nation's highest bench.
Marquette University released the survey results on Saturday that showed 67% of adults believed the Senate should hold a hearing if a vacancy occurred during 2020's race, with only 32% opposition — and similar strong numbers across Republicans, Democrats, and independents, who supported holding confirmation hearings at 68-31%, 63-37%, and 71-28% respectively. The poll was completed three days before the death of Ginsburg, the 87-year-old liberal icon who was nominated by President Bill Clinton and confirmed in 1993. Ginsburg earned praise from Democrats and Republicans upon news of her death.
Ginsburg’s death in the middle of 2020's election drew comparisons to the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, the 79-year-old conservative icon, Ronald Reagan appointee, and longtime Ginsburg friend, who died in February 2016 during the Democratic and Republican primaries. President Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland, the chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, to fill Scalia’s vacancy that March. But Senate Republicans declined to hold confirmation hearings or a vote, arguing that they wouldn’t confirm a justice appointed by a lame-duck president of the opposite party and that the winner in the 2016 election should fill the vacancy.
The new poll showed that the majority of U.S. adults disagreed with blocking Garland's nomination, with 45% of Republicans saying it was right not to hold hearings for Garland and 54% saying it was wrong, while only 15% of Democrats thought it was right and 84% thought it was wrong, with 20-78% among independents. The poll was conducted between Sept. 8 and Sept. 15 with 1,523 adults nationwide interviewed online and a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.

“Mostly peaceful” protests and riots that have been going on over the past few months have now caused $1-2 billion worth of damage.
The media’s continued silence on the mayhem and tacit approval of it since it first began has been absolutely disgraceful.
In terms of total paid insurance claims, the arson, vandalism and looting of the riots cost as much as $2 billion.
That number far eclipses the cost of the infamous Rodney King riots of 1992.
Axios found the $1-2 billion number through Property Claims Services, an organization that tracks insurance claims related to civil disorder.
This is a massive loss for the many small-business owners whose properties were victimized in the riots, many of which, if not all, began as protests in support of Black Lives Matter.

There was the Vietnam veteran from New York who was selling Trump memorabilia at a stand across Gillespie Street from the Walmart Supercenter.
There was the man from Texas who flew into town who has numerous websites encouraging people not to advertise with media outlets he says are anti-Trump.
Those are just a couple of the die-hard Trump supporters who came into town Saturday as part of President Donald Trump’s “Great American Comeback” event ahead of the November general election.
His supporters who were interviewed as they were walking into the event at Fayetteville Regional Airport said Trump has improved this country on many fronts — including the economy and support for veterans. And they said that it is clear that the media is out to get him.
His supporters also said not only do they not blame Trump for the pace of the spread of the coronavirus — as former Vice President Joe Biden’s camp has in numerous recent commercials — but said he’s done an excellent job considering the cards he was dealt.
