Republicans stayed both within the law and within the norms of procedure in their hard ball action to postpone their vote on the Garland nomination.
Democrats broke every norm in the book in their unethical fight to keep Kavanagh nomination from going through. It was all pretty laughable with milquetoast Booker's Spartacus moment.
Not so funny thoug when the smear campaign began in earnest with the Democrats fanning the flames of mob rule, complete with slurs and threats against Kavanagh's young family, and destroying women's reputations by dredging up adolescent antics in year books and publishing confidential information from a victimized woman who had wished to remain anonymous.
Democrats did not care how many lives were damaged in their quest to keep control of SCOTUS.
The Democratic party has gone full board Alinsky in their attempts to win power at any cost. There is no decorum to them.
If one wants to know the true nature of the kind of person that holds the death of 60 million unborn as their crowning achievement, the Democrats showed their full face in this process.
Norms of government allow for hard ball politics, and Cocaine Mitch was well within the norms that had governed Senate appointments to that point. While it was not 'normal' for Mitch McConnel to actually win any battles against Democrats until that point, he has taken a shine to winning under the rules that have come to the fore through Democrats playing hard ball politics themselves.
This latest fiasco however laid waste to the idea of their even being procedure. It was psychopathic, and rule by sociopaths will be the norm if allowed to continue.
What. They stalled a nomination for a YEAR. That's the longest vacancy since before the Civil war. That's not the norm, that them stealing seats with petty tricks. I hope the dems return the favor in 2020.
