Is it democratic that the party that has only won the popular vote once in the last seven elections will have a 6-3 edge on the Supreme Court (lifetime appointments)? The large majority of Americans being polled now say the appointment should wait until after the election. (citation needed).
The Republicans may be arguably within the rules to attempt this. The undemocratic part relates to larger problems with the Electoral College, and small states having equal representation in the Senate.
