I'M sorry if you would rather play games with reality and squirm and twist here rather than admit that your guy sat on the Senate floor and voted YES to confirm this semi communist ACLU lawyer bitch.

So did just about every other Republican in the Senate at the time.
Wasn’t the vote something like 98-2?
You could make the same accusation against nearly every other Republican senator, conservative or otherwise.
The fact is, that traditionally, Senators pretty much voted to confirm appointments by the opposing party as a matter of course.
The Republicans vote for the Democrat’s nominees because they respect that principle, based on the assumption that if someone had gotten elected to the presidency, they had enough judgement through which to pick qualified candidates (even MARGINALLY qualified candidates).
It is the ‘RATS who have “politicized the process” in the last twenty-five years, and they have now degenerated to the point where they will vote against Republican judicial nominees simply BECAUSE they were nominated by Republicans. Or do anything possible to prevent Republican judiicial candidates from ever reaching a full-Senate vote, period.
The only way to fight this fire is with “return fire”. That is to say, Republicans should now attempt to block any and all ‘rat judicial nominations, filibustering them if necessary.
If the Pubbies dare do this, watch a Democratic-controlled Senate pass “the nuclear option” in two minutes - along with a provision that such option last only until the current Senate session ends (to prevent such a tool from falling into Republican hands if they ever regain control of the Senate).
But your beef with McCain that he voted for Ginsburg simply doesn’t hold water. The rest of his Republican colleagues DID EXACTLY THE SAME THING.
