58 Percent of Americans Oppose Democrats' Court-Packing Proposal, New Poll Finds
Americans support the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett and oppose the “court-packing” proposal by Democrats to increase the size of the high court, according to new surveys.
A majority of likely voters – 58 percent – say they oppose the proposal to “increase the size of the Supreme Court to include more than nine justices” if Barrett is confirmed and Joe Biden wins the White House, according to a New York Times/Siena survey conducted Oct. 15-18, after Barrett’s hearings before the U.S. Senate. Less than one-third (31 percent) support the concept.
And a clear majority of Americans think the Senate SHOULD WAIT and let the winner of the soon to be held presidential election pick the RBG replacement.
Packing the court would destroy the entire system and almost certainly cause a civil war. Nobody sane wants that.
Unfortunately our friends on the left can't cope with the fact that their far left unconstitutional agenda is dead with ACB replacing RGB, so they are seeking to burn everything down around them.

Both sides will do anything to push their agenda. Lets not pretend otherwise.
Reverse the parties on any of the arguments and people arguing would be arguing directly opposite.
I highly doubt that is true.....and if it was, they'd be the ones who were wrong. As it stands, feeble minded Democrats who support packing the court to push through their unconstitutional agenda are wrong. We can both agree on that right?
Only 58 percent is pretty bad... but if I actually look at it from the left's point of view, I suppose they could be annoyed the the right held up Obama's appointment, and now are going to go through with theirs. Does that mean they should stack the courts? I don't think so. It's just a petty move. Each party should get 10 justices.. make it fair. 20 total. If there's really a tie, a tie means no pass... it's basically the same as a "no" vote. If there was really a 10-10 tie than neither side deserves to get any rulings they want for being so biased. Justices are supposed to interpret the constitution.. how hard can that be? They are not supposed to rule on their emotional bias.

The goal is to not have ANY partisan hacks like RBG on the bench for either party.
Only 58%? I would have thought that number would have been closer to 80%. The sane Democrats know this is a bad idea that would wreck the system. A packed court would fracture the country.
