I’ve been mystified by the performative outrage ever since the pink hats. With the most ridiculous nominations, the senators should do the factual research, and make sure every unflattering detail is aired in a public hearing and is on record. Then vote no. There may be some nominees that aren’t great but not hills to die on. Calmly make the record and vote accordingly. This should not be hard. Surely the D senators will collect their wits and do what they know needs to be done.
