With the Democrats up in arms over a new Supreme Court Justice being appointed just 45 days from the election, perhaps they need a quick history lesson.
After Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death on Friday, questions swirled about whether President Donald Trump would nominate or be able to push through a nominee before the election in 45 days.
As The Federalist’s Sean Davis pointed out, however, it is entirely possible to get a Supreme Court nominee in fewer than 45 days. The question remains, however, whether or not a nominee should be pushed through so close to an election.
Three Supreme Court Justices, including Ginsburg herself, took fewer than 45 days to be confirmed by the Senate. As Davis pointed out, Ginsburg’s nomination was sent to the Senate by then-President Bill Clinton on June 22, 1993. Her confirmation hearing began a month later on July 20, and she was confirmed on August 3. “The entire process took 42 days,” Davis tweeted.
In addition to Ginsburg, two other Supreme Court Justices were confirmed in under 45 days, Davis noted.
“The time between the formal Supreme Court nomination of Sandra Day O’Connor and her final Senate confirmation was 33 days. (Aug. 19-Sep. 21, 1981). For John Paul Stevens, the formal process took only 19 days (Nov. 28-Dec. 17, 1975),” Davis tweeted. “There are 46 days until the election.”
