Yes, we'll have to agree to disagree. McConnell's antics will be felt for a lot longer than 5yrs because the judges he chose to ram through the process we also very young by SCOTUS standards. If it will be forgotten within 5yrs that's a testament to McConnell's PR acumen.
Justice Elana Kagan was the only justice young enough when confirmed to be compared by the Republican nominated lot.
As an aside, I can't believe that Clarence Thomas was confirmed at age 43. That should be point #1 to reinforce that SCOTUS nominees need more demonstrable experience before getting appointed. Of all the judges, he's the lightest of lightweights on the court. Yes, I say that even though he's a big Nebraska Husker fan and season ticket holder by virtue of his wife.
