If this was truly legal from the beginning of our country, then why is it that nobody else ever did it? Mitch McConnell violated the US Constitution by refusing to allow the President to exercise the rights of his office as mandated by the phrase, "The President SHALL APPOINT....judges," etc. McConnell blocked MANY other judicial appointments, and he had no right to block those, either.
