A poll on the Supreme Court vacancy [View all]

As it is now the Court seems to be in stalemate status with four conservative leaning justices and four mostly liberal votes, which, IMO, stops the repugs from ramming through their most odious ruliings.

5 votes, 0 passes \| Time left: Unlimited
	Filibuster any Supreme Court nominee to keep the court at 4 and 4
	1 (20%)
	Vote for Obama's pick Merrick Garland if he is nominated
	4 (80%)
	Vote for a mainstream pick as Schumer has suggested
	0 (0%)
	Vote for someone just to get the court back to nine justices
	0 (0%)
	0 DU members did not wish to select any of the options provided.
