In which century did a Republican Senator last block a Democrat appointee?
They do this stuff, and we don’t, at least in my memory.
You know, the always low energy Republicans play by Duchess of Queensbury Rules. It’s thought more becoming to do nothing. Gentleman to the last man... and losing.
Your memory is wrong, R Senators used the Blue Slip generously against Obama after the filibuster was eliminated by the Dems. It was all they had left.
Judiciary Chairman Leahy(D) threatened that he would end it back in 2013, but didn’t.
Before that both Dems and Rs used it but not fanatically. These Dems are fanatical.
