    I would have them do what republicans would do when they’re not in power- they seem to get what they want regardless.

      Senate rules for confirming judges were changed. It only takes a simple majority now. Dems have been dragging things out and forcing role call votes to slow everything down, but there’s only so much they can do.

      Citing objectionable Trump administration candidates and lawless acts by the president and his team, Senate Democrats have slowed the process to a trickle, insisting on recorded votes for every nominee in a move that has left top agency slots vacant. It has also angered Republicans who accuse them of a new level of obstruction when it comes to confirmations.

      In the end though, every democratic Senator can vote no and the republicans still win and the appointment is confirmed. What exactly do you want them to do?

        I mean, middle aged Korean legislators were in the streets grabbing the automatic weapons out of the hands of law enforcement?

        So, what do I expect? Physical resistance. Throw a punch. Get arrested. Storm a building. Start shooting, if necessary.
