I think what bothers me in all of this is that this whole partisan fight over justices is a relatively new thing. It used to be "is the person qualified? Ok then." Advice and consent to me means that much. Kavanaugh is obviously qualified. I don't like him, but whatever.
I am of the opinion that judicial appointments, all judicial appointments, ought to be at a 60 vote threshold. I feel like nominations to the third branch should have a higher level of scrutiny than executive branch appointments in general, but we won't see that again for some time.
