Treb,
You're a nice guy.
I don't doubt your sincerity.
But Senatorial advice & consent on such nominees is not an option. They can't just not vote on it if they don't wanna.
Sear,
You're a nice guy.
I don't doubt your sincerity.
But if ALL the Senators are allowed to do is CONSENT to a President's nominees... ANY and ALL of them... how the hell do you explain so many of them, on BOTH sides, NOT being confirmed?

Hmm?

And voting no for illegitimate reason is, as you might easily imagine, illegitimate.
"Illegitimate"?  Who gets to decide what reasons were or weren't illegitimate, when not one of them has to GIVE a reason why he or she voted NO?  All they have to do is VOTE.
