No, why would he?

He followed Democrats' refusal to seat Bush's nominees near the end of his presidency, almost all of them excellent.

Typical that Dems now whine after they escalated the problem.

And despite Repubs' overwhelming support for Obama's nominees, very few Democrats had the integrity to support tremendously qualified candidates like Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.

If Repubs hold the Senate and refuse to seat the next Democrat president's SCOTUS nominees, it will be your party's fault for setting the precedent.

But Dems will lie and claim it's Repubs fault.

From 2013 to 2016, the Senate confirmed 152 judges — 25 percent more than during President Bush’s second term
