Without question the answer is YES! The US Senate Confirm a Supreme Court Nominee in an Election Year.

Throughout American history, when their party controls the Senate, a president gets to fill a Supreme Court at any time – even in an election year. If a president and the Senate agree on a Supreme Court nominee, the timing is not important.

When the opposite party controls the Senate, the Senate can block Supreme Court nominees. Not since 1888 has a Supreme Court justice been nominated and confirmed in a presidential year while the opposing party controlled the Senate.

The author was concerned about the future of the United States if Hillary Clinton had been elected president in 2016. If that had happened, and if the Democrats had won the Congress, it was the author’s belief that the future of the United States would be in doubt. The tax and spend, heavy regulation and increase in entitlements philosophy of the Obama administration, along with the failure in foreign affairs policies, would have continued. That would lead to economic disaster and the continuing diminishment of the United States’ influence around the world. The title was going to be The Great, The Late United States of America! With the election of Donald J. Trump, the United States won a reprieve, hence the title was changed to “The Great The Late (Almost) United States of America!” With President Trump’s election and the control of the Congress in Republican hands, the Republicans were able to show the electorate the difference between Democrat and Republican control. This book discusses the philosophy of the Republican party, the contrast with the philosophy of the Democrat party, and what will happen to the country if the Democrats have success in the 2020 election.
