Voting for cloture is standard procedure and hardly a crime against humanity.

In the Senate, voting for cloture is voting for the bill, or voting for the confirmation in most cases. The Dims understood that and voted against cloture on many Bush nominees, effectively keeping quite a few from confirmation.

Just one reason why Republicans stay behind the Dims in the ongoing battle for the federal court system.

You keep making these stupid, blank statements without knowing anything you're talking about. Jeff Sessions held up the nomination as long as possible and has campaigned relentlessly against Hamilton, but Republicans are the minority and have no long-term power to stop anything.

Its idiots who assist the election of Democrats by claiming the Republicans aren't conservative enough, who are the problem.
