Senate Democrats on Friday rejected Republicans who chastised them for slow-walking President Trump’s Cabinet nominees, and argued that payback is warranted because the GOP blocked President Obama’s high-court nominee last year.

“For the first time in the history of the United States of America, the Republican majority in the U.S. Senate refused a hearing and a vote on a nominee to the Supreme Court,” said Minority Whip Richard Durbin, D-Ill. “That went on for the entire duration of the Obama presidency.”
