Let the Republican backpedaling commence!

Ugh!!!! Stupid media, do your damn jobs!
Why on earth are they taking polls to figure out who people think is responsible for filling SCOTUS vacancies? It is irrelevant what people think and what percentage of the population thinks what.
What is relevant is that the process for SCOTUS vacancy filling is unambiguously spelled out: the pres nominates; the senate approves or disapproves.
If 34% of the population thinks this should not be, then 34% of the population is woefully misinformed, so inform them of what the procedure is and where it is spelled out. Quit taking freaking polls to try to play magical balance fairy and promote perversion of the process.
Grumblemuttercuss!
/rant. Sorry.

Lidane, this rant is not at all aimed at you, just the media in general, Fox in particular this time. I am glad that 62% of those polled accurately grasp the mechanics of the process (and I guess in that sense, it is not completely irrelevant). The media just anger and depress me some days. Ok, most days. Especially Fox. Especially how they are handling the GOP’s idiotic temper tantrum in response to Scalia inconveniently dying before Jan of 2017.
