One where Republicans block all Democrat court appointments, then push through their candidates at high speed when Republicans are in control.
What I can't figure out is why the Democrats can't use similar tactics successfully. This is how we got a Republican Supreme Court.
Somehow they were able to stonewall Obama's nominees for over a year, then pushed through conservative appointees fast enough to give us whiplash - legal problems be damned.
Neat link. I really like using https://ballotpedia.org/Main_Page when researching local candidates.
