The whole thing has been a joke from start to finish. I see no middle ground anymore because neither side wants one. I see no interest in truth from either side, only how best to achieve their aims. I see a horrible precedent being set. Not long ago I saw the Democratic party as occupying a morally superior high ground. Now I see them covered in mud, with the only thing distinguishing them from the GOP is what group of extremists they cater to and quite honestly, at the moment, their extremists appear to be far more extreme. The Dems botched this, they have themselves to blame.
So the branches of our government that are the more political branches are being terrible, and they nominate a known partisan actor with questionable ethics to the branch intended to check those two and (in theory) be above the partisan/political bickering, and you're okay with it, but you're unhappy with the way the political branches are acting.
Gotcha.
