Which was the precedent sat by the democrats. So hes just playing by the current rules in place really. 

Mitch McConnell lowered the threshold from 60 to 51 for Supreme Court picks. After not considering the last nominees for more than 400 days.

Harry Reid was the one who started the whole "nuclear option" of only needing 51 votes to approve federal judges.  Mitch McConnell only upped the ante to include a Supreme Court nominee, Gorsuch.  So, this crap started with Harry.  He's the one you should be blaming.
