We both got Meese’s confirmation date wrong - it was February 1985.
In any event, the Democrats delayed Meese’s vote for 13 months.
And, 12 of the Democrats who voted for Meese were from southern states that voted overwhelmingly for Reagan in the 1984 election.
Bottom Line - the Democrats are going to play scorched earth against any Trump nominee who has not sworn his loyalty to the Progressive agenda.
About 45 Democrats voted against Bob Barr in December 2019.
