So then following that argument through to its natural conclusion, you must demand Trump nominate a moderate to replace the moderate Kennedy.
Merrick Garland is a moderate.
And he'd sail through confirmation.
So why not him?
So here's your argument:
Gorsuch didn't get any obstruction because he was filling a Conservative (Scalia's) seat on the bench. When Kennedy, a moderate, steps down, Trump nominates a hyper-partisan Republican operative, openly Conservative. Then you scream about partisanship on the part of the Democrats obstructing someone who is not a moderate, like Kennedy was, that would maintain the court's ideological integrity. So the true partisan here is you because you argue that Gorsuch should have been confirmed to maintain the court's integrity, but Kavanaugh must be confirmed to replace a moderate because "Trump picked him".
What a phony, baloney justification.
I see right through it for the laughable argument it is.
