It's not really doing their job if they don't spend the time to discuss and debate each nominee on the senate floor before they cast their vote...

To me it is pure laziness... not doing the jobs they are suppose to do, and shutting out what little voice the minority is suppose to have in the Senate, vs the House....

And really, why have the rule, only to take it away when it is inconvenient to the majority side of the aisle? There was a purpose for the rule to be set up in a way that it wasn't easy peasy to push nominees forward, if you had sizeable minority with concerns on a nominee.... It was a step in the process to purposely slow things down and not jam bad laws or bad nominees down our throats with no debate or discussion...

Every nominee could be fine or good and likely to get everyone's vote, but I still wouldn't want to see the Senate taking short cuts...

...then it would only be fair for the next president to have the Senate take the same short cuts as the previous president had the senate take,

and from there on out... all nominees will never be vetted by the whole senate... as the Constitution states the Senators must do.

It's just a slippery slope shortcut that'll lead to no good....imo.
Minority Obstruction Is Tyranny

To avoid setting a precedent that may backfire, MAGA must make sure that Postmodern Leftists will never again be in the majority. The rulers' horse-and-buggy Constitution displays the political ignorance of the 18th Century.

Well if all bets are off, we have a solution...

When Democrats are elected... They increase the Supreme Court to 13 and place on Democrat Judges... They can lie their ass off in the meeting before hand...

Then when they get in, fire all of these judges as not properly appointed under law...

Bit shit but MAGA wanted those rules... Even Mitch thought this was a bad idea...
Your Obsession for power shines through.
