Studying the history of the senate to find a rationale for actions today is somewhat typical of Conservatives. The Democrats are more concerned with today and tomorrows. For that we must have a way to get nominations studied and rejected or confirmed, but without idiotic candidates such as Trump has made being rammed through on party lines. The idea of 51 votes confirming most nominations is not so objectionable as that Trump should get to make any nominations whatsoever. That he should get to put a single Justice on the Supreme Court is disgusting. Yes, there was an election. But don't forget it wasn't the popular vote that put George W. Bush or Donald J Trump in the presidency and don't forget that there was Russian involvement in the 2016 election. To ignore all this is to make plain that it's only a cherry-picked Senate history which McConnell wants to review.
I thought it was amusing when he said each of the Democratic senators had teeth. I think he said they weren't toothless. But, implied was that it irritated him when they actually used those teeth to bite.
Tough. Deal with it.
