I absolutely agree with your point. The amount of hero worship that went on was positively alarming and she absolutely should have been persuaded to retire. Unless I'm missing something though, neither the president nor congress can force a judge to retire, short of impeaching them. Even if they could, you'd likely end up in a situation similar to Obama's, where the opposite side blocks your attempts to instate a replacement.

So you're just going to accept Republicans always get their judges and Democrats never get them?

Why don't Democrats block the Republican judges?

There's always going to be some excuse stopping the "good guys". Ask yourself why that is.

Why don’t Democrats block the Republican judges?

Because they're somewhere between idealistic and hopeless at this sort of thing. They want to play 'fair', which is all very noble and all, but means they get hammered by the opposition who have no such scruples. At no point here am I saying the Dems are a good choice, only that the alternative is worse. It's a poor choice, but the one in front of us.

It's the same thing with the Washington Generals, they're playing their hearts out out there on the court but the opposition is both composed of better players and is willing to use every tool at their disposal in order to win.

Pretty much, a complete lack of killer instinct.
