First of all, the 'popular vote' isn't a fricking thing. It's simply a metric and determines nothing. It does not matter one iota.

Second, the Republicans hold a Senate majority and those positions were elected directly by the people. They are REALLY the 'deciders' when it comes to confirming a new justice, and they were chosen BY THE PEOPLE, aka their constituents. If the people did not choose to enact conservative/republican appointments and confirmations, they wouldn't have been elected and hold the majority.

Essentially, your "popular vote" argument is null and void.
