> The GOP hasn't allowed democrats to appoint any judges (even when they had majorities in the senate) for over a decade now.

In case anyone was curious, literally the most recent appointment to the Supreme Court was by (Democratic president) Joe Biden. Ketanji Brown Jackson began her service exactly one year ago.

(Biden has also appointed over a hundred other federal judges.)

You are confusing things here. One liberal supreme court justice (with none of the others being picked by the incumbent administration and instead decided by McConnell and co.) does not make up for the hundreds that have aged/died out of office since the clinton and obama years.
