So if this trend continues, we could very easily end up with a situation in which no presidential nominees ever get hearings if the opposing party controls the Senate.
As I indicated a few posts back, this could soon result in the Supreme Court being unable to muster a quorum, not to mention all of the other unfilled presidential appointments. This doesn’t seem like a great situation to look forward to, and is one more example of how our entire political process seems to be grinding to a halt.
