As President Trump prepares to announce his
replacement for retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy,
Democrats are desperate to block the president's nominee -- but are
powerless to so. They have no one to blame but themselves. Let's take a
moment to recall the sordid 15-year history of Democratic
miscalculations that brought them to this point.
The Democrats' first mistake was to
launch unprecedented filibusters against President George W. Bush's
appellate court nominees, starting with his 2001 nomination of Miguel
Estrada for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit. The D.C. Circuit is considered the country's second-most
important court, having produced more Supreme Court justices than any
other federal court. Estrada was a supremely qualified nominee who had
the support of a clear majority in the Senate. His confirmation should
have been easy.

The Senate won't want to pass anyone good either though.
