I'm literally arguing that the decision who to nominate was affected by elections, which were decided by voters. That did not used to be such a rage-inducing thing to say.
So, why didn't Trent Lott? Because of his caucus. You seem to believe that caucuses do not restrain Senate Republican action, despite many years of evidence that they do.

Change over time, Dan. If the Rs caucus was so moderate, it would never have blocked those three DC circuit court judges in the first place. Honestly, c’mon.

Oh man that is weak. You really do not grasp the difference between blocking a judge & changing the rules? You really do not remember the publicity blowback in 2005 & how Senate Rs went running scared? Anybody who follows this stuff knows that.
