I agree with Democrats not showing up today for the committee vote...

...to move the vote for the Supreme Court nominee for a yes or down vote by the Senate to add her to the Supreme Court. Regardless of what they do she will be confirmed. But...
if I understand what dems are doing, there is some disagreement whether it is legal to do that unless two of the minority party votes. Dems could protest but they will not for a good reason. If the democrats win the Presidency and Senate they can stack the court as much as they want since if it was OK for the GOP then they will not have a leg to stand on when dems do the same.
