Florentinopeces,Democrats should insist but Senator McConnell is not expected to apologize on behalf the Republican Party and lead the passage of his own senatorial censure for acting to undermine the reputation of the U.S. Senate.
Consequentially, Democrats should then filibuster any Supreme Court nominee (unless they believe it’s one more favorable to them), or at least until 2021.
Senator McConnell would then be expected to lead his party to evoke the “nuclear option” which would be additionally more detrimental to the decorum and reputation of the U.S. Senate.
The alternative of Democrats not attempting to block all President Trump’s nominations to the Supreme Court would be to accept that no Democratic President should be able to appoint a U.S. Supreme Court Justice unless Democrats at that time also hold 67 seats in the U.S. Senate.
