That was a lifetime ago. 2 years, pal. That was a long time ago. Barack Obama was re-elected in 2012 and you wouldn't let him fill a seat in 2016, even though he had already been President for 7 years, winning two elections.
You said that the people needed to weigh in. And they did. And you got Gorsuch.
Now, there's another election coming up and a controversial nominee who is under seemingly multiple investigations, has already lied under oath about his time as a Bush the Dumber swamp monster, and is credibly accused of attempted rape when he was a privileged, entitled youth.
So we need to put pause on this whole thing until after an investigation, testimony in front of the JC, and the election in November.
It's only fair.
