I keep hearing this. And I'd love to see all Republican senators impeached. God knows every one of them has call to be. But the Constitution says they can reject nominees, and there's nothing that says "but only, you know, once or twice and within reason." They can legally reject every nominee ever. They can spend the next 100 years doing it of we let them stay in charge of Congress.
