It’s not crooked, by 2016, Obama was a lame duck president, he had no Senate so when he made his court pick, the Republican controlled Senate, blocked his pick. They cited that it was an election year. Fast forward to now, Republicans have fast tracked Trump’s pick, hypocritically. That said, they did right thing. The way the pathetic Democrats treated Justice Kavanaugh with his confirmation, with fake allegations trying to discredit him to keep seat open. Democrats also changed the 60 vote confirmation requirement, when they controlled the Senate in 2013. Paving the way to allow the Republicans last night to confirm Amy Coney Barrett, on 52 votes to 48. The Democrats reap what they sow.
Democrats get all they deserve, if they pack the Supreme Court should they gain the Senate this year, at every other election, Republicans could regain power and make changes how they see fit and it’s just an endless cycle of power grabs by each side.
