Filling the Supreme Court vacancy left by the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the 2020 election aligns not just with the Constitution but with historical precedent. As National Review columnist Dan McLaughlin explained yesterday on Washington Watch, there has been a vacancy on the Supreme Court either during an election year or prior to the start of a new administration 29 times in U.S. history, and in almost all those cases, the sitting president has made a nomination. These presidents include George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and most recently, Barack Obama.

Values Voter Summit 2020 Begins (on) a New Stage
|
|
If 2020 were a normal year, a few thousand people from around the country would be arriving in Washington this week to attend the 15th annual Values Voter Summit (VVS). But as we're all well aware, 2020 is not a normal year. The pandemic may have canceled large in-person gatherings, but it hasn't canceled the drive of Christians in America to pray for our nation, vote their biblical values, and stand for truth.
