Not giving a President's nominee a hearing is not an option. Or wasn't before McConell decided it was. You can give him a hearing and vote to not confirm him. That's fair. But McConell knew he didn't have the votes for that.

And Justices have been added and removed before. There's genuine precedent for this.
