Sure Jeb, Democrats have never blocked Presidential nominations. I guess you forgot about that other guy named Bush who was president:

"During the 108th Congress in which the Republicans regained control of the Senate by a 51-49 margin, the nominees that the Senate Democrats had blocked in the 107th Congress began to be moved through the now Republican Senate Judiciary Committee.[10] Subsequently Senate Democrats started to filibuster judicial nominees. On February 12, 2003, Miguel Estrada, a nominee for the D.C. Circuit, became the first court of appeals nominee ever to be successfully filibustered.[citation needed] Later, nine other conservative court of appeals nominees were also filibustered. These nine were Priscilla Owen, Charles W. Pickering, Carolyn Kuhl, David W. McKeague, Henry Saad, Richard Allen Griffin, William H. Pryor, William Gerry Myers III and Janice Rogers Brown.[11] Three of the nominees (Estrada, Pickering and Kuhl) withdrew their nominations before the end of the 108th Congress."

And Jeb, I guess you haven't you learned yet that "bipartisan" means "do what the Democrats want" or maybe you're a really a closet Democrat.

He’s not even a “closet” Democrat - he’s a jackass to the bone. I would not trust him to run a lemonade stand.
