I can't remember one. I do remember Republicans using the filibuster to block many of Obama's judicial nominations. That is what led to the "nuclear option" that simply required a majority vote that Republicans later extended to the Supreme Court. I also remember Republicans refusing to hold hearings or a vote on Garland. Both sides use whatever methods are available to block appointments they oppose.
I am not objecting to the use of these methods, only saying both sides use them. Republicans should have gone ahead with the vote on 9/20. Democrats are just seeking to delay the vote because it will not change any votes.
I agree. "Who cares what Biden says?" Party members like Biden make arguments based on what they desire politically (good or bad) and not some standard or principle they are not willing to change when the situation is reversed.
You need to see somebody about that anger problem. When the other party has a near record number of elected partisan offices it is a little premature to say they are "losing power." Democrats lost, let the Republicans enjoy their victory. Continual blabbing about "just wait" and "in the future" is just a substitute for current dissatisfaction. It is like a sports event when the loser says "wait til next year"---a juvenile response from a poor loser.

Even the local PD won't investigate.....................
County Police Won’t Investigate Allegations Against Kavanaugh Unless Complaint Is Filed
Whether statute of limitations would apply would depend upon the type of complaint
Montgomery County police say that unless a complaint is filed, they will not pursue an investigation into Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations that U.S. Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh physically and sexually assaulted her at a party in Montgomery County in the early 1980s when both were high school students.
“We would only investigate if something has been reported to us,” Officer Rick Goodale, a police spokesman, said Monday. “As of now no one has come forward. We are not going to initiate an investigation.”
Goodale said whether the statute of limitations would apply if a complaint was filed would depend upon the type of crime reported.
According to Maryland state law, there is no statute of limitations for felonies in Maryland. Some assault and sex offenses are considered felonies and there is no limitations on when charges could be filed if those offenses are alleged to have occurred.

Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

There were about 36 judicial nominees blocked. Before Obama Democrats set a new record blocking Bush's appointments and Republicans surpassed that record under Obama.
"By our count, cloture was filed on 36 judicial nominations during the first five years of Obama's presidency, the same total as the previous 40 years combined."

Not entirely. I made comment "I can't remember one. I do remember Republicans using the filibuster to block many of Obama's judicial nominations."
I just referred to judicial nominees because, as I said, I don't remember any specifics about a Supreme Court nominee. But, it was also in response to my point that both parties are willing to resort to the same tactics to accomplish their goal.
Several GOP Senators vowed to block any Hillary Clinton Supreme Court nominees.
And Republicans sought to smear Anita Hill including a book the author admitted had made-up facts.
