GOP ignores bipartisan support from lawyers and law enforcement

Republicans also proved to have lied: Democrats...lambasted Republicans for flipping on the issue. “I urge those [Republicans] who said they would never support a filibuster of a judicial nomination to end this filibuster. I urge those who said that they would only filibuster in ‘extraordinary circumstances’ to end this filibuster,” Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the committee, responded to Grassley.

The courts and regulation is what the powers that are behind the GOP have been about since the Reagan years. Stacking the courts since Reagan and denying Clinton and Obama nominees. Democrats went after GW Bush's nominees because many were from weird world of politics more than law.
