Denied as in dems were unable to or chose not to?
As in the Republican Senate decided they weren't going to vote on any nominations from Obama.
As in republicans could veto the nomination?
Could dems veto the new justices?
Sorry im not American and am trying to understand. I thought dems could have but chose not too due to integrity.
The Senate has to confirm the president's picks. The Republicans controlled the Senate during Obama's last years in office. So they just didn't confirm his pick. Their reasoning was that it was an election year. When Trump faced the same situation (supreme court vacancy in an election year), the Republicans still controlled the senate and confirmed his pick.
