[Broken Glass Can]

The responsible thing to do is to vote on nominees. The Senate can vote down anybody they want, they've done it throughout history, but never has a majority of Senators been denied the right to vote.

There is nothing magical about the rules. When the Senate was founded, the filibuster did not exist. It was created later. When used sparingly, it has some merit. When used in as a blanket blocking technique, it loses its value. The Democrats are killing the filibuster by using it irresponsibly. Shame on them.

When Democrats abused the filibuster over Civil Rights, enough rules changes were made to break them. The same is happening now. The Democrats are fully responsible for killing the filibuster through their irresponsibility.
