As you all know, the American public’s opinion is all that matters when it comes to Supreme Court Justices. Which is why this scoop from The Hill is so important:

More from The Hill:
A majority of Americans disapprove of President Trump’s appointments to the Supreme Court and have little or no confidence that he would pick a suitable candidate to fill any potential future vacancies, according to a new poll from the Marquette University Law School.
The survey found that 57 percent of U.S. adults polled somewhat or strongly disapprove of the way Trump has handled filling vacancies on the nation’s top court. Forty-three percent said they somewhat or strongly approve of the president’s approach, a figure that is slightly higher than Trump’s overall approval rating of 40 percent in the poll.
…
The survey was conducted Sept. 3-13 and is based on answers from 1,423 adults nationwide. It has a margin of error of 3.6 percentage points.
Well, that’s it. Game over.
They're going to have a tough time when they run for reelection. ?

Oh no, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh will never get re-elected to the Supreme Court now! https://t.co/dBnX0DNM8j

Not exactly, no. Meanwhile:

That alone is a good reason to take that Very Important Poll with several grains of salt.
