(02.03, 02.05, 02.07 HC)In Mаrch 2016, аfter the deаth оf Justice Antоnin Scalia, President Obama nоminated Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals, Merrick Garland, to fill the vacancy. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell refused to hold confirmation hearings for Garland, stating that it was too close to the next presidential election and that the vacancy should be held so that the next president could select a nominee. This was contrary to the usual practice. Previously, Supreme Court hearings were conducted even during election years.Democrats argued that this was a politically motivated act by the Republican majority in the Senate. This sentiment intensified in 2020 when President Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. The Senate under Mitch McConnell proceeded to hold confirmation hearings for Barrett, despite it also being an election year. McConnell responded to Democratic criticism that this represented inconsistency by observing that the government had been divided in 2016, with a Democratic White House and Republican Senate, while the White House and Senate were unified in 2020. He cited eight instances in which a unified government confirmed a Supreme Court nominee in an election year, adding that the last time a Republican Congress had confirmed a Democratic President's Supreme Court candidate was in 1888. Critics countered that a Democratic Senate had confirmed a Republican President's judicial nominee in 1988. Respond to all parts of the question. In your response, use substantive examples where appropriate. Referencing the scenario, describe the steps required to confirm a Supreme Court justice. Explain how the Senate's actions in the scenario reflect a tension between the power held by each branch of government. Explain how public opinion polling could shape Congressional behavior on judicial nominations moving forward.

Decide whether the fоllоwing stаtement mаkes sense (оr is cleаrly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain your reasoning. I used an exponential scale because the data values for my categories ranged from 7 to 450,000. Choose the correct answer below. A. This makes sense. The exponential scale will make the data linear, which is easier to read. B. This does not make sense. Every graph should be plotted linearly so it does not mislead. C. This makes sense. The exponential scale will make it easier to see both low values and high values displayed on the graph, so changes in low values will appear more significantly. D. This does not make sense. This will make it impossible to read what the lower values in the data set are.
