Originalists believe in sticking to what the Founders intended and they did not want the electorate involved. They placed the choice carefully and deliberately in the hands of the Executive with approval in the Senate.

Agreed. And I don't hear anyone here suggesting we overthrow the Constitution or even amend it to make democratically elected justices.

But we can express our disapproval when the Executive does something stupid.

But you have to have some evidence the President did something stupid. He performed his Constitutionally mandated duty and now the Senate will perform his. Your role was to vote for electors and Senators. All the rest is Sound and Fury signifying nothing.
