That was before the Senate hijacked the normal nomination process in 2016.

The court has been an illegitimate and partisan body ever since Garland's seat was denied.

No, that process was broken in 2001 - and temporarily restated wit the gang of 14 - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang_of_14

It's a much bigger problem then just this.

Yes, it was. What's your point?

Parent poster claimed that a non-political Supreme Court isn't possible, and in reality, the Supreme Court has been essentially completely non-political for all but about 22 years of its existence

The process was hijacked long before 2016. See "Borking".
