Still, there was no precedent for disallowing a sitting president from appointing a Supreme Court Justice. Refusing to hold the hearing was a clear loophole/exploitation which the Dems should have combated on every front possible if they were actually concerned with exercising their electoral mandate(s)
Their argument was largely "he already appointed 2!" and then Trump gets to chuck 3 in there within a single 4 year term with McConnell still in the senate. And I'm not complaining about the hypocrisy, I'm complaining about how fucking useless the dems are.
That particular event was when I realized that bourgeoisie democracy was an absolute farce.
They were also fucking useless not ensuring the right to abortion via legislation in Obamas first term. Obama didn't want to "divide" people. Dems sat on their hands thinking the Republicans wouldn't do what they kept saying they wanted to do.
