Supreme Court nominations are taking longer. After Justice Ginsburg’s death, what a data analysis of Supreme Court confirmations tells us.

President Franklin Roosevelt had more Supreme Court justices confirmed than any president except George Washington. President Richard Nixon had four justices confirmed in his first term, the most in one term in recent history. President Donald Trump is aiming for his third.

The number of days left matters. According to an NBC News analysis of U.S. Senate records, the number of days between a nomination and its confirmation has ballooned from an average of two weeks in the first half of the 1900s to more than two months since 2000.

.” In short, the president must nominate a choice, and the nominee must then be confirmed by the Senate.usually include an investigative stage before the hearing, public hearings, and a committee decision. Once Trump nominates an individual for consideration, that person goes through an FBI background check, and the Senate Judiciary Committee will also complete its own investigation of the nominee. Committee Chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., will set the hearing timeline, and once the committee holds its hearings on the nominee, it will then vote favorably or negatively or give no recommendation and send it to the full Senate.

A speedy confirmation is not impossible, especially given that the president and the Senate majority are both of the same political party. In the time since John F. Kennedy's presidency, Democratic presidents have appointed eight justices, compared to the 15 justices confirmed for Republicans. In 1869 Congress set the number of justices at nine. Since then, President Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, set the record for the most justices nominated and confirmed .

It’ll go quicker w/ Dems behaving like children & not (at least) interviewing her.

Blue States turning Red! Trump Pence 2020

I AM JESUS ​​CHRIST AND I DO NOT SUPPORT RACISM !! DONALD TRUMP IS THE OLD SERPENT 'THE DRAGON' 'THE DEVIL'. I WILL DEFEND AFRO-AMERICANS !! I came to step on the serpent's head. 'Revelation of the bible' End of the world.....

Don’t worry there is plenty of time to nominate her... good try

MoscowMitch will get it pushed through in record time! Nobody under this Administration is honest or gives a rat's ass about Americans!

She is in and there is nothing any of you can do about it.not going to add states or stack the court.the people saying this don't know how things work apparently.

Separation of Powers of three co-equal branches is a term you fruitcakes seem to have forgotten.

Due to division between parties, of course it takes longer. Many Americans are wondering about the hit job the FBI & previous administration did using a dossier with Russian interference. We don’t trust Wray. Some of the FBI was scared enough to take out liability insurance 😆

First his taxes, then Tic Tok, and now this. It feels like Christmas morning 🎁😂👍🙌

You people still haven't worked out that no one is paying any attention to your deep state psyops.

Per Senator Lindsay, the confirmation of the next Supreme Court Justice will begin October 12. Per the calendar October 12th is Columbus Day a Federal Holiday. I would be very surprise to see the Senate go to work on a Federal Holiday, they stay home a lot.

If only realDonaldTrump and the GOP had moved this fast on COVID we wouldn’t have lost so many lives.

You should be asking about his tax returns!!!! Softball questions!!

This is 2020 everything is quicker. It’s called technology. A click if thé mouse dozens if people get same info in seconds. I guess Dems need time to trash. Again one email everyone is informed .hey we see it on ALL media using same terminology same day different networks. HOW?

SHOW US YOUR REAL, NOT FAKE, TAX RETURNS- LYING FRAUD TRUMP... and your FAKE 2 page HEALTH CARE PLAN!

Data won't matter here. This is about politics and keeping realDonaldTrump out of prison. Welcome to the Vladimir Putin political environment.

This was before Trump's introduction of turd mentality in politics. Many Senators caught it.

Why is this a conversation, we're voting!

Dear Dems get the Senate on your side and impeach and remove while you still can; DUH!

But Biden said it should be quick. WHAT changed?

Not this one.

Kavanaugh's hearing showed how despicable and horrific the Democrats are willing to go, just because 'orange man bad.' I expect the same this time as well.

Forget the hearings. Take it straight to the senate for a vote.

And, they are getting nastier. The Democrats keep reaching new lows with each new hearing.
