Republicans having appointed those judges in no way mean Republicans have ever supported their decision. Only a liberal would think up something like that.
Then why didn't the Republicans in Congress give a hearing to President Obama's recommendation for the Supreme Court? Not doing so was unconstitutional.

I'm not sure I'm following your point. i would agree that some republicans in the past picked bad judges. Bush 41 picked some bad judges. But their record has been very good over the last 40 years. How have the democrats done in the last 40 years? Can you name a single good judge appointed by Carter, Clinton or Obama?
My point is why do we have legal abortion in America. You blame the Democrats. It was the Republicans who ruled on that case.

Please cite the exact part of the Constitution that deal with that subject.
He can't. The Senate is responsible for confirming judges. They didn't confirm him. They didn't have hearings. That's a possible constitutional outcome. It's legal.

Article II, Section 2: “[The President] shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint…Judges of the Supreme Court.”

Sorry, there is nothing in what you quoted that says that the President can force the Senate to act in a certain time period. Both Biden and Schumer once said that they would not allow an appointment through the Senate before the end of his term, as you may remember. The American wheels of justice grind slowly but they grind very fine.

So the Democrats really made a stupid move by reviewing and approving Trump's Supreme Court nominee. They should never have done that. Just leave the seat vacant. Then the argument goes the other way under a Democrat president. Eventually all the Supreme Justices die and we have no Supreme Court.

Huh? Harry Reid went to majority rule. The GOP did not need Democrats on Trump's nominee although three of them helped out. Under Obama the GOP had a majority but the Democrats had long before established a precedent that no GOP nominees would go through a Democrat Congress according to both Vice-President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Schumer. I really don't see how you can complain when the Democrats approved of delay tactics when they held the Senate under the GOP President. I think Biden laid down the law in 1992 before the election of Clinton. Generally speaking, the GOP has voted to approve Democrat nominees as a courtesy that has never been returned by the Democrats.

This thread by this liberal professor of the religious left Mathewes printing in the Democrat newspaper the Washington Post owned by hardcore leftist poor little rich boy Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon is garbage. Evangelicals are only a fraction of Trump's coalition, and no, Evangelicals, do not believe that anyone should be forced to cater a sodomite event against their conscience, so there is an economic opening for Bezos, who does not have the courage to try and force Islam to cater sodomite events because he has vulnerable property all over the USA. In fact, Bezos has four low-paying Amazon warehouse in this metropolitan area. I think that Bezos should open his second headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, an Islamic dump.

The democrat party should have known their filibuster rule would eventually bite them in the rear.

But it is hilarious to hear a democrat party member gripe about it.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court nomination of Judge Neil M. Gorsuch is now going to the Senate floor. The Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer of New York, has pledged to lead Democrats in a filibuster of the nomination. If he does, the majority leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, has vowed to change Senate rules to clear the way for Judge Gorsuch. The potential showdown has raised interest in the peculiar Senate filibuster rule.

Reid changed the rule in 2013 for nominations. He set the precedent. Tough luck that you have to spoil your Christmas over Harry Reid.
