You'll all recall when the republicans decided not to hold a vote on a THIRD Obama supreme court nominee. He had already appointed 2, both of whom were confirmed without being treated like evil monsters by republicans throughout the process. Two SCOTUS judges appointed by 1 president is not a low number btw! But when republicans promised to block a 3rd(after seeing how radical & deceptive the first 2 were proving to be), both the democrats and the media instantly began making dishonest hypocrits out of themselves and each other!
That was when the democrats AND their media allies began claiming and pretending that any resistance to a supreme court nominees is "unprecedented and extreme". Well, as usual, those claims were false. It was nothing more than politically convenient propaganda. During the last 1.5 year's of GW Bush's presidency, the democrats had just promised NOT to confirm ANY new SCOTUS nominee until after the next election! Of course the news media were supportive! Then they buried the story when republicans did the same thing, and feigned outrage, and claimed it was "unprecedented"....Lol
Well here's a whole list of republican supreme court nominees savaged, filibustered, blocked by the democrats, in just the last few decades alone:
10 Times Democrats Vowed To Block Republican Nominees
