  • 9 Republican Senators voted to confirm Sonia Sotomayor, 5 voted for Elena Kagan, and 3 voted for Ketanji Brown Jackson, which was necessary to grant her a majority.

    Apart from McConnell refusing to bring Garland up for a vote, parties have been confirming their opposition’s nominees for decades.

    You can make specific arguments for why Thomas was unfit due to harassment accusations, but merely not blocking new Justices from appointment because they hold ideologies of the party nominating them has long been the standard.

    You can push for someone less ideological than Bork, but don’t fault people for working together in the past to keep the government functional.
