They were upset over his decision to abide by hundreds of years of established Senate precedent and move forward with nominating and confirming a Supreme Court justice during an election year.
"I’m disgusted that Senator McConnell would treat this opportunity in a complete different manner than he treated the opportunity when there was a vacancy when Obama was nine or 10 months away from the election," one of the protesters, Laura Johnsrude, said to Kentucky’s largest newspaper, The Courier-Journal.
"The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."
But the American people already had their voices heard. They handed the Senate back to the Republicans during the 2014 midterms, thus granting McConnell the authority to vote against then-Democrat President Barack Hussein Obama’s SCOTUS pick after Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s death two years later.
Likewise, the American people kept the Senate in the hands of the Republicans during the 2018 midterms, thus granting McConnell the authority to now vote in favor of President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...’s expected SCOTUS pick following the death Friday of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
