ConfirmThem Poll Results and Prediction Accuracy
By Ryan K Posted in SCOTUS — Comments () / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
Over 1,000 participated in the ConfirmThem favorite nominee poll. Voters were able to select more than one nominee, with the goal of finding the consensus favorites. Here are the top results:
FEMALE:
- 39% Edith Jones
- 30% Janice Rogers Brown
- 18% Priscilla Owen
MALE:
- 26% Michael Luttig
- 19% Emilio Garza*
- 17% Miguel Estrada
* In the past week, Garza's vote total jumped very disproportionately (jumped by 8%), so be skeptical of these results. Nonetheless, I think the results accurately reflect the sentiment of most readers.
Will the President choose amongst the above six favorites? Probably, though there are at least a dozen others most conservatives would also be happy with. We'll know for sure in the next week or two.
And, please, hold your applause for another accurate ConfirmThem foresight - my accurate anticipation in July that Hillary Clinton would vote against Roberts, despite rumors and great skepticism otherwise ;) . This was before I read Hillary's pro-activist, feel-good liberal litmus test: "Whether Judge Roberts is truly a guardian of the rule of law who puts fairness and justice before ideology.�
