What if Democratic senators boycott SC confirmation hearings altogether?

[Mike 03]

Some of you have pointed out that the optics would be terrible to have Dems viciously interrogating female judges, especially Nagoa, who is Cuban-American. (I question this assumption, because I think most Americans know what is going on and what is at stake her, but on the other hand they might be correct.)

But we could give this process no legitimacy at all if we simply don't attend it whatsoever and dismiss it as a cynical political maneuver that can have catastrophic consequences for the foreseeable future.

If Dems just don't show up, then it wouldn't be personal: the animosity wouldn't be directed at the judges, but at the process. It would be seen as an illegitimate process.

I'm guessing this is not a good idea or someone would have suggested it before. So, what exactly is the problem with this proposal that Democrats entirely avoid even attending these proceedings?

EDIT: Thank you for your answers. I knew something was wrong with this idea or someone would have proposed it, but I didn't know the reasons why it was not a good idea.
